Hot Rumor: WP8 to Have Global Search Feature!!
 
Quote:
As the Windows Phone Developer Summit approaches really soon, we have a Windows Phone 8 rumor that reveals just one of the great features that may be coming to the platform. According to the folks at Insideris, who have obtained reliable leaks in the past, Windows Phone 8 will feature a global search option that can be activated right from the start screen.

According to them, underneath the arrow that shows all your apps there will be a search icon that brings up the global search feature. When you type in this screen, Windows Phone 8 will apparently search your entire phone for relevant results, including "contacts, apps, games and more", meaning that it will become much easier to perform simple tasks such as looking up a contact or finding a specific application.

Wooo.....I'm impressed! NOT!

So... global search is in WP8.

Great. Welcome to 2005. Or 2007. Or... some other year that's not 2012.

OH WOW. Just like the (for me at least) useless "Just type...." feature in webOS.
Now give me a file manager like Directory Opus (or Krusader) and its search feature, and we'll be in talks.

Pressed the search icon on my Gingerbread Android device, started typing, it does this exact thing.

Wow, what an innovation!

Edit: doesn't even the N9 do this?

2005?

Palm Pilot III had global search as did the Treo 600/650.
MS is really impressing me.

Move over Android and ios. WP8 will crush you with this highly innovative, new (non-)feature. Be impressed, be very impressed!

I'm sure the press release will read just like all their other inventions that everyone else was already doing (like hard links, compressed files, etc.):

MICROSOFT is proud to present their LATEST innovation:
GLOBAL SEARCH!

I really hoped that MS could pull something out of the hat and make a decent phone, something with depth and character,a intuitive OS, somehow they managed it worth windows 7. But there OS is like when you do homework on the way to lesson, half arsed and lazy

Re: Hot Rumor: WP8 to Have Global Search Feature!!
 
Next crazy thing they'll announce is multitasking!!!!!!! OMG! That would be something totally insane to put in a PHONE! Imagine multitasking on a handheld device!!!

A sure feature to be on all WP8 phones: A hypnotic ringtone with Balmer and Elop chanting "you like this phone, you like this phone, you like this phone...."

Re: Hot Rumor: WP8 to Have Global Search Feature!!
 
OMG global search !!!! That's all I ever wanted on a phone I'm so buying the next Lumia now. Thank you microsoft for offering me such revolutionary technologies maybe with windows phone 12 you will give me an os that is actually worth bashing.

I remember when Nokia were connecting people, now i find it amazing everyday that they picked winphone over MeeGo the Lumia rang are not true Nokia's they are Nokia killers,
what Elop has done is like leaving your intelligent healthy child (MeeGo) to die while taking in a crippled brain damaged child (WP7) then trying to convince everyone the crippled brain damaged child can rule the world

Jeez, that's pretty evil minded! I am actually pretty impressed by the global search. It (hopefully) means WP8 will be a real OS, not some junk like WP7. At least I hope so.

Evil but true IMHO

Re: Hot Rumor: WP8 to Have Global Search Feature!!
 
It would be awesome if they could implement some sort of image capturing device on their phones too, and a visual display to review said captured moments.

That's the future of mobile technology IMO. Maybe we could give it a name and patent this for TMO! I'm thinking imcapdev or capdev? I wanna say Cam...something... but not sure how that would work.

danramos 2012-06-13 06:38
Re: Hot Rumor: WP8 to Have Global Search Feature!!
 
Maybe it can do video over the Internet with that image capture thing.. ? They could call it a videophone.. or internetcam... netcam? Facecam? Face.. call time? facetime? Face-cam netbook? facebook?

I don't know.. whatever it is.. THAT could be revolutionary!

What is a "video" and could new devices do that yet?? Maybe, this new technology will be included in WP8..

Edit: This is very exciting indeed!!! I can't wait to try new and revolutionary technologies such as global search, multitasking, cam thing, video... Etc.

I hope they see the superiority of the fruit company, accept it and start copying their revolutionary features. The most advanced mobile os in the world now has sile... do not disturb feature.

I still would like to see Nokia's tactile electro-stimulation screens, for "physical" buttons.

A pleasure massage function instead of audible ringtones! It's BRILLIANT!

Hey, guys. There is news recently that WP has reached 100,000 apps (including all the apps published and removed and all the one title ebooks but whose counting?). The shocking fact is that you can't even get a screenshot app or data usage monitor app for WP. These apps cannot be written by because WP7.5 developers work in a sandbox environment where any interaction with the hardware is not allowed. Microsoft finally allowed an app to use the camera LED as a torchlight but it took one year of struggle!

As for apps like Call Recorder, Call Blocker, Speaker Switcher, Easy Answer, AutoCallSMS, Phone Counter, Billboard, wallpaper changers and all those icons we can put on our home screen to control a phone function, these are apps which WP7.5 users can only dream about.
