Video on how Spotlight should work in the iOS

Apple added the Spotlight search tool to iOS back in 2009, with version 3.0. The page, which can be accessed by swiping to the left of the Home screen, allows you to search through the content on your device.

While it’s a nice idea, the feature itself has long been criticized for its limited functionality. Compared to its counterpart in Mac OS X, Spotlight for iOS is pretty hindered. Do you think it should work like this…

 

The above concept video was put together by designer Cody Sanfilippo, and it demonstrates his vision for how Spotlight should work. He believes that by including things like categorized search results and in-window action buttons, Spotlight would become more useful than it currently is.

But as cool is this may be, it’s more than likely going to fall on deaf ears with Apple. There haven’t been any recent updates to the feature, outside of iOS 6 adding folder labels, and Siri can already perform most of its tasks.

At any rate, we like the thinking here. Maybe the idea will make its way into a future jailbreak tweak. Or maybe one already exists.

    Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

    The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.

    I’ve learned a lot over the years and have learned to take care of the things that matter in my life. I’ve been given a second chance with that old jacket alone. Normally, with the way things are made these days, products don’t usually last that long, that’s how companies stay in business for so many years. If you take care of things properly, business would only sell to new customers and unless it’s a product that is in great demand, businesses are going to fold. The price of leather has sky rocketed and it’s nice to be in that business right now, but learn from an old man and take care of your leather products and your leather products will be around for the next generation of motorcycle tramps in your life.
