So now it s works on my scratchbox too after copying /usr/lib/hildon-home/touchsearch.py in /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/
Someone with an n900 can confirm this ?
I hope that makes sense...
Also, attempting a search doesn't actually open the browser (i.e., instigate a search).

-Hildon Desktop
-The Python bindings for it
Because the .desktop interface is quite easy and I don't think I could've possibly messed it up

Code:
dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest="com.nokia.osso_browser" --print-reply /com/nokia/osso_browser/request com.nokia.osso_browser.load_url string:"http://www.google.com"
(having a device is a blessing and a curse, eh?
)

I think you should wait for a bit more of certainty that you app works before pushing it to extras-testing. Although nowadays fair enough: I wouldn't have seen it if it wouldn't have landed there.
Additionally, TouchSearch is a simple applet, and although it's (hopefully) useful, it is more of a "deployment of technologies" on Fremantle e.g. a test. Only difference between it an something like Attitude, is that I plan on making it a day-to-day useable application.
Furthermore, since it is so simple, I plan on frequently uploading new versions to -testing after I fix problems found by testers.

Side-note: Also, I think that your Widget would look better if you used the default Widget background gradient (translucent black to medium gray). Plus, most Widgets "hide" their settings button (which has a default Maemo 5 icon) until users "edit" on-screen properties.

This works.

Would it be possible to snap a couple screenshots? I'm thinking one of my applet against a pre-installed one and one of each dialog (search and select engine). That would be fantastic.
Concerning the settings dialog: it isn't a settings dialog per se, but integral to the everyday use of the applet. I'm envisioning that once I add more sites to search, the user can easily flip through the list and select an engine easily (and change this frequently). There will also be a settings interface to change traditional options, like button size, icon type, etc.
