Most of the third generation handsets come with the universal search feature, something that was missing on the Nokia Symbian devices. Finally Nokia’s decided to get this feature on its Symbian devices by announcing the Universal Search application. It will allow the users to search the entire device and the Internet within the frames of a single box.
The Universal Search allows to quick access apps, contacts, messages, Nokia Maps, Ovi Store products and even internet websites. The application comes with improvement capabilities. This means the application works upon the history and tries to bring in the pages you’ve been looking for. The feature uses the location of the device and tries to return with the relevant results. It kind of studies your preferences and habits. Other than that it always considers your location. Doesn’t this sound good?
The application also remembers the frequently used app and contact lists and gives a chance to have a one button launch for the apps and contacts. The application cannot be found in Ovi Store, but you can get it from the Nokia Beta Labs. The new application is compatible only with Symbian^3 devices, thus if you’re not among its users look for one of the latest Symbian devices.
