Inquisitor comes to the iPhone
Even as Apple has moved to obviate search bar add-ons with Google Suggestions in Safari 4, Inquisitor author David Watanabe has been working behind the scenes to extend the iPhone’s web search to add intuitively fast results.
Inquisitor has always been about speed and simple design. Instant search suggestions attempt to complete your thoughts and save you from the keyboard. Results are designed to be easily read on the iPhone screen, so there’s no need to hunt and peck. A built-in web browser means you can flip between search results and web pages with a single tap. There’s even an extended abstract preview that hovers over webpages while they’re loading, so you’re never left staring at a blank screen. On top of it all, Inquisitor remembers your history and personalizes the experience to you.”
Unlike the Mac version, Inquisitor for iPhone isn’t a Safari add-on per se—opening the app opens a unique instance of Apple’s WebKit-based browser on your touch or iPhone. Moreover, tapped links open within this special implementation of Safari.
Inquisitor: Simple Web Search + News Search is available for free.
