Welcome to Searchy!

Searchy for iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch are all available now in the iTunes AppStore!

Searchy for iPad

Searchy for iPad was launched on April 15, 2010 - shortly after the launch of the iPad.

When I got my iPad, I noticed that Apple hadn't included an in-page search feature - yet again!
While I have grown to understand that there isn't much room on an iPhone or iPod Touch for search tools, with the enormous display of the iPad why aren't search tools included?

As with the iPhone and iPod Touch version of Searchy, I'm back to the rescue. This time, with a faster version, with all the customizations of Searchy 2 for the iPhone!

Searchy for iPhone/iPod Touch

Searchy for the iPhone and iPod Touch grew out of a need for me to find text inside of Web pages while using my mobile devices.

I tried several browser apps from other developers (including one from a bigger browser company), and every time I was let down.
Sure, some rendered pages quickly (sometimes, it seems, by replacing the text with squiggles); some even had their own in-page search; none of them could meed my requirements:
1. Get out of my way and let me browse quickly.
2. Show me search results that look better than a simple "JavaScript Yellow" hack.
Basically, I wanted a tool that did one thing, and did it well: Search inside Web pages quickly.

I built Searchy for my own use, found a few people that liked it as well, and pushed it up to the AppStore.
A couple months later, I'm pushing out Searchy 2 with many more customizations, and more features still to come - all while keeping the main goals in mind: Get out of the way, and get the results back richly.
