To change what you can target when searching the phone
Many applications can make some or all of their information
searchable from the Google search box. The applications whose
information is searchable are included in searches targeted at all
information, as suggestions below the box as you type. They also
make their icons available so you can target your searches just to
their information (see “To target where you want to search” on
page 57).
You can change which applications are targetable by Google search.
1 From the Home screen, press Menu and touch Settings > Search >
Searchable items.
The Searchable Items screen lists the applications you can target
when searching, along with a description of information they
make searchable.
2 Check or uncheck the applications whose information you want to
be able to search.
To add a dedicated Search widget to your Home screen
You can add one or more Search widgets to your Home screen,
dedicated to searching in a particular place: just the web or a specific
application’s information on your phone. When you touch a
dedicated Search widget on your Home screen, it opens Google
search with that location targeted by default.
1 Touch & hold an empty location on a Home screen.
See “Getting to know the Home screen” on page 29 and
“Connecting quickly with your contacts” on page 62 for more
about your Home screens and adding widgets.
2 Touch Widgets in the Add to Home screen menu.
3 Touch Google Search in the Choose widget menu.
4 Touch the Web icon or the icon for the application you want to
dedicate the widget to targeting.
See “To target where you want to search” on page 57 and “To
change what you can target when searching the phone” on
page 58 for more about targeting searches and making
information on your phone available for searching.
The widget is added to your Home screen.
