Hi All,
Just got my SGS2 few days ago and spent days on this forum, for it rooted and learnt heaps from here, this is fantastic! Thank you all.
I spent almost the whole night searching for a couple of apps and could not find the answer, please don't shoot me if there is already an existing thread, I just could not find it.
I am looking for an app or function in the SGS2 that allows you to search for installed apps, similar to the 'Search page' on ipad, instead of scrolling through pages of installed apps. I have already installed the 'AppZorter Lite' which allows me to sort them in order, but not search for an app.
Second of all, is there any apps that allows you to sort apps in alpha order page by page instead of all pages?
Thanks in advance.

You can use google search(integrated into you sgs2) for searching the apps installed in.
Open google search and click on the google icon then it will shows the content type(All, web, etc....) it is searching currently. there you can see a small settings icon at the right top corner click on it, and you can include apps or music whatever you want.
Hope this will help you....Let me know if you need more information.
Thank you very much.
Didn't know it is already there
How about, do you know any apps that allows you to sort apps in alpha order page by page instead of all pages?
Actually the Google Search integrated in Android is quite smart
3rd party applications can be linked to Google Search bar. So, apps like imbdb, google docs, music, etc can be integrated into Google Search, allowing multiple search in parallel.
Also, you don't need to have the widget in your homescreen, just long tap menu buton (that acts as a search button in some apps that implements this function) in any homescreen.

Is it only me, or do other people get music results when searching for apps?
I thought if i wanted to search for music, i'd go to the zune marketplace and hit search. But it seems that it does a global search on the marketplace...
It makes it so hard to find an app if there are 100s of music listings!
It does the same for me. It seems to put the majority of applications at the top of the list, but I've seen them scattered around also.
what keywords did u try .. I never had this issue.
A truly infuriating issue I've had.
from the phone or the desktop zune. From desktop zune you can sort to wp7 only applications.
i see the same on WP7, ML search include everything.
Is there a way to do so?
Specifically, I mean my last google searches, browser history and market searches.
I just found options to clear existing histories, but no entry to prevent logging new ones.
if you're trying to hide your tracks in specific instances, you could use an incognito window in the browser to search including the android market. Then everything goes away when you close that window. But if you mean always, then I don't know.

Yeah, I mean the same settings I have in my Notebook's Firefox: Simply don't even start a history. Or when I tap the Google Search window on top of the screen - don't give me my last searches.

Try this.... Open Google Search... Menu -> Settings -> Google Search -> Uncheck Use Web Histroy
Yup, tried that already. I'm at the moment not even logged into my gmail account. It still gives me my last searches below the google text field on the home screen.
Just to be clear: I don't mind that "instant search" which autocompletes, but the storage of my last searches bugs me. It's the same in the market.
I wonder if this is related to a recent article ibsae on yahoo news about Google saving your history .
I deleted it all and paused it through Gmail on my desktop. However I believe this is something different but regardless ibwoukd check that yahoo news article. When I have a chance I'll get link for it

Here it is. Although I read a different one. This one says on Android that if you already signed in your outta luck?
I realize you just don't want it popping up but this is why maybe??

I don't think it should affect the OS itself. Remember, I'm talking about the search bar on the home screen, not the browser.
It is possible to delete the search results one by one by tapping the X on their side, but there is apparently no option to prevent the search bar from creating the entries in the first place.

I had the same issue so I downloaded 'Beaver' by Crowbar Solutions (free and paid on the Market) which is now my browser and basically saves absolutely no trace of your browsing history. The browser is pretty much the same as the stock browser and I have the paid version of the app so was able to set my own homepage to google, etc.
...and I just realised you were referring to the search bar on the homescreen my confusion sorry. I don't use that search bar so can't offer a solution.

Yes, I have researched this. I can get the unversalsearch apk and get it to work on my Note but then it disables or over rides the Google Now search and cards which I like.
Is there anyway to get google now to do a universal search? or have the option of both? Another reason for apple to suck it....as I type from my Macbook
I am mainly interested in the search feature working like it used to where it searches emails, texts, music, etc
Thanks for any help.

I dont think google now currently works quite like the old way the goolge search did. Although I agree, I'd like to have both if possible.

If you want google search to search what emails, texts, music etc.. do the following:
1. Press on the search bar (this will take you to the google now/search screen)
2. Press the menu button
3. Settings
4. Phone Search
from there choose what you want the phone to search for.
It will be nice when you can have it use multiple accounts. I don't like having to duplicate events and forward emails just so gn will find out everything I'm doing

thanks for the reply. Unfortunately the only option I have to search emails is using the stock email app. I use gmail. There is also no setting for searching texts
I have tested the app with nexus 4 device and it is working fine. Wanted to test in other devices but don't have budget and resources for the same. So here i am asking XDA fourm members to test and give you valuble inputs.
Few words on new app
True launcher - A new intelligent way of grouping installed app
Google play link:
I can't post link because of forum rules.
Search for True launcher in the play
Synopsis:
Once we install apps from the Play Store, it takes way too long to find them, and once we're done, it can be bothersome trying to remember which app we installed before that one. After a couple of months, that clean app drawer can grow to become six, seven, and even eight pages long.
This is where True launcher comes in handy to users.
True launcher has a special tab called “My Play” where user can find all the applications downloaded from the play store also it automatically organise your applications based on Google play categories.
True launcher is faster, smoother and customisable home replacement application.

Any one got a chance to test or found any issues??
Posted in Verizon help forum too:
I've rooted my G3 and have had issues with pages not displaying in full site views @ all (e.g. Accuweather) or incorrectly (e.g. Google Play) for some time now. I get "Server Error...Connection refused...Error 500" when trying to display pages in full site views in Chrome and Dolphin browsers. Other sites, like Google Play display incorrectly/wonky in full site and mobile views, meaning almost in a pure text view, no page search bar, etc. Also, I've noticed when going to the Weather Channel site, the page language displays English and Chinese/Japanese = odd. I've done a factory reset and still have this issue. I know this wasn't a problem before but I don't know if the rooting or use of of post root apps have done the damage. Right now, all I have are some basic rooted apps - ES File Manager, Cerberus, AdBlock Plus, SuperSU Pro, Titanium Pro, Webkey, Widgetroid, and Tasker. I've searched for answers and even went to LG for help, but nothing is resolving this issue. I'm @ a loss of what to do...anyone help, please?
