Despite its many flaws, the BlackBerry does make searching the web pretty easy. The Go To screen contains an address bar, a search bar, your bookmarks, and recently visited sites. For most users, that’s enough. More intense mobil web users might prefer wider reaching search options, beyond the basics — or, for Verizon customers, beyond just Bing. SearchIt has been available for a while, though I have to say I hadn’t seen it before today, when Obi at CrackBerry<\/a> noted an update. Shaosoft has added plenty of features to an already excellent application.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After launching the application a dialog box appears on the screen. It contains a search bar, a search button, and a search using field. Scroll down to change the search engine you wish to use. SearchIt browses 22 sites and engines currently, plus two user-defined sites. You can hide any of the engines or sites by clicking Search using and scrolling to options, at the bottom. <\/p>\n

In the options menu you can choose to show or hide the search engine and site categories, turn as-you-type suggestions on or off, and select your default site or engine. At the top there’s a check box that allows you to add SearchIt to the system menu. With that feature activated you can select text in any application, press the menu button, and select SearchIt. Now the selected text will appear in the search bar. You can also set your browser, with choices of the default, Bolt, and Opera. <\/p>\n

SearchIt allows for two custom sites, which you can set from the options menu. Click under custom search, and then enter the sites’ URLs into the appropriate fields and name the site. You can select them at the bottom of the search engine list. <\/p>\n

Hardcore mobile web surfers can get a copy of SearchIt<\/a> for $2.49 until January 23, when it goes up 50 cents to $2.99. <\/p>\n
