QuickAdvice: Search Rocket For iPad & iPhone

April 28, 2010

Sure, we know our iDevices are a powerhouse when it comes to looking up anything on the Internet. With countless search engines and reference tools, finding information on any topic is just a matter of pulling up your favorite query site and hitting return. But imagine if you could you use one app to perform over 25 different searches. The universal app Search Rocket allows you to do just that.

Search Rocket is pretty much the app tool box for search engines. The app houses 25 popular search tools and puts them all in one place for you to access. You can simply tap on an engine or use the shorthand abbreviation found in the search window and begin your search. Your results are presented using an in app web browser so you never have to leave the app.

What makes this setup helpful and worth the 99 cent download is the convenience of not needing to navigate to multiple sites to look something up. Your recent search query terms are saved and running your query on another site is just a matter of toggling between the History icon and the Search button. So for example, if you wanted to look up casting information on Iron Man 2, you could use IMDB and then with an additional tap, return to your query and run a search to Rotten Tomatoes to begin reading reviews.

SearchRocket is universal so for the 99 cent download price, you'll be able to enjoy the ease of search on both the iPad and iPhone. The experience is the same on both platforms with the obvious advantages of the extra screen space on iPad.  If you're needing to access anything on the go and want to run your search across multiple sites, this is a great tool to turn to for all of your query needs.

Search Rocket is available now on the App Store for 99 cents.
