Yahoo Aviate search now on home-screens around the world
Yahoo‘s third-party Aviate Launcher has pushed out an update today that will now allow users all over the world to conduct Internet, apps, and contacts searches directly from their home-screens via the search bar widget.
The update is available in over 70 countries and only where Yahoo Search is available.
Aviate had the following comment concerning the release:
Today we’ve rolled out Search to Aviate users around the world. No need to open a new window, because Aviate shows your Apps, Contacts and Web Search results right on your homescreen.
Search on Aviate is available in over 70 markets where Yahoo Search is available. Users on Android 4.0+ will see a Search box appear on their Aviate homescreens when their devices update to the latest version of Aviate.
I took the liberty of creating a gallery of screenshots on my device to give you an idea of what this search box does, because, let’s face it, a picture is worth a thousand words and I know you all are busy.
You can see that the search box is removable and there are settings available to it. Unfortunately, it locks you into the Yahoo search engine, should you choose to do an Internet search. You can put Google’s search widget on your home-screen, and it performs similarly, but it lacks the aesthetics that Aviate overlays its own search window with.
