I don't know if this is a big issue to anyone else but, I don't like to use google mobile search at all. I have my homepage set to google classic, I like and I am used to the desktop search results not the mobile version, especially for images. I was wondering is there a way to switch the search qwery, so that when I search google with the integrated search I can always receive google classic results?
Thanks in advance !
Not really an answer to your question, but as an alternative...I use steel with user agent set to desktop and get classic search results that way.

Hi everybody!
Is there a desktop search tool like dtsearch or google desktop search for android? i suppose not, didn't find anything.
I think many of us have several pdf/hmtl/docs etc. on our phones that we'd like to use for quick reference on the go.
Thank you very much in advance

I hope there is at least something in development. I'm willing to pay for a document search program.

As tablets become more popular, and as the variety of uses for tablets grows, something likecthis is goingto be mandatory. I already wish something like this was available!
Doesn't the Google search widget cover a lot of the bases?
No. I see where it makes you think it will search within apps like Google docs, evernote, and springpad, but I have searched for 2 text strings that I know are in all 3 and all I got is internet results.
Im looking forward to an indexed search where I can search my thousands of PDFs and docs and text files on my android tablet, like I can on my pc.

Hi,
I've been looking for a way to have my Android phone read to me similar to iOS's VoiceOver feature. I'm running Android 2.3 but can't seem to find a way to accomplish this easily.
A couple quasi solutions I have found is to use a RSS reader, such as "FeedSpeak" or "Web Talks" that support TTS (Text to speech), however this only works for RSS feeds. Another method is to convert websites into PDF's using Dolphin Browser's "MyPDF" Add-on and use ezPDF's voice reading feature to read the PDF back.
Am I missing something that is inherent in the Android OS? Does anyone have a better app to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Voice Browser Lite: https://market.android.com/details?...dfreebrowser.lite&feature=more_from_developer
This is an excellent example of what I'm looking for, I just wish it was a little more refined. Hopefully this will help someone looking for a similar app.
Hello,
I've been looking for exactly the same solution for a while now, and ended up looking at the same SW as you mention -- but found them a bit lacking. And yes, I agree, Voice Browser is annoyingly close. What bothers me the most is why isn't that one a browser plugin that can be activated only when needed.
Sorry if this doesn't provide you with any added knowledge (apart from the consolation that you exhausted all existing options).
Let us know if you find anything new / better. TIA for that.
I'm sorry for posting in a such old thread, but I was looking for exactly the same app and Google brought me here. I foud one very simple but that can satisfy the requirements of anyone looking for something similar. Here it is: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.benigumo.speechweb
Web Speech doesn`t work for me...I just get FC's all the time...
I think it's really annoying that there is no simple App or Add-on for this feature.
In fact I find it unbelievable. Is there really no convenient solution?

I wonder if the permissions in android prohibit an app like that. my understanding is that apps reallycan't interact with other apps for security purposes.
Use "Voice Reading" app for reading web pages android
"Share" the web page to "Voice Reading" (read aloud) app. You have to get the app from Googleplay. This is the best way that I have found.
It's the highest rated reading app. Remember you can 'share' any page or email.:good:
Hi,
I'm annoyed by the images I see when I search my name in Google.
I don't have a problem with Bing or Yahoo.. I don't know any other search engines..
I don't want to remove the images that are bothering me,
I'd rather understand why they're chosen and try controlling my image search..
1. Do you know a way to do this?
2. How do you control your images?
3. Do you even care?
4. Do you think I shouldn't care?
I have some form of OCD and am a minimalist perfectionist, so I would love to know any solutions.
Also, you're very handsome and smart.. maybe compliments will help fish in solution(s)...
love you..
Hi,
I've been using my new Android phone for web access a lot more recently. On a PC I like to limit my Google searches to a specific range of dates. But I see no option for that with my Android copy of Chrome.
I found this Reddit post from 3 years ago complaining about Google removing the option. Can anyone confirm that this is still the case?
There is a post in that thread with a link to information on how to use advanced google search terms like: date:3 date:6 and date:12 ...But those don't seem to be operational any more.
Is anyone aware of any more current information on whether or not it may still be possible to set a range of dates for Google searches in Android?
