Why doesn’t Searchify return any results?
- Searchify has to be enabled in your phone settings for it to work. To do this, press the MENU key on the home screen, then tap Settings, then Search, then Searchable Items. Check the box next to Searchify.
- The first few times you use Searchify, its results will appear under a heading ‘More results…’. Once you’ve viewed Searchify results a few times though, Searchify results will appear in the main search results. [update: this isn't true for Android 2.2 (Froyo)]
- Don’t press return or the magnifying glass button after entering your search query! Just type in the query and wait. Searchify results (and other results) will appear below the search box.
- Also, note that in Searchify Settings you can disable search modules by unchecking the box next to them.
Hi,
App looks great. Want to try. But can’t find on android market. When I do a search in the Android Market I get back a message: “No matches for: searchify” Using Droid Eris.
Search took place: April 6, 11am, eastern, US time (GMT-05:00)
Did you pull your app for some reason?
@Steve Searchify is on the Market, but you have to have Android 1.6 or higher to see it. I think the Droid Eris is still on 1.5.
Unfortunately Searchify just won’t work on 1.5 because the Quick Search Box was only introduced in 1.6. Hopefully your phone will get an upgrade soon.
Hi, Same problem, I have a Hero, is it the same reason as Steve? This phone is current, I only got it for Christmas.
Hi Judith. Yes, I’m afraid the Hero is also on Android 1.5 at the moment so can’t run Searchify. I hear an update should be released soon, though.
I have a Samsung moment and it tells me too no apps like this???
I have a Droid running 2.2.2. I don’t have a “search” option under settings. How do I enable it? I mainly got searchify to search my Calender.
The settings have moved in Android 2.2. Instead, press the search key from your phone’s home screen to see the Quick Search Box (this is the box that you’ll use to type Searchify queries). Then press MENU to see a search settings option.
