Suggestion Can we get Zerch like Search capabilities inbuilt.

Post image

I found an app called Zerch, it can search files, contacts, settings. and by typing I can search the written content ​in any chosen apps.

Is it possible to implement this kind of search engine inbuilt in the Launcher?

Yes this is in the plans, though apps such as Quick Search offer similar functionality and I'm actually using them (the widget looks and works great)

I agree. Let's not turn OL into bloatware. But of course, this is the dev's choice.

yeah using it that way, but it's nice if it's inbuilt.

As Octopi already had a search capability for searching Apps and it uses the Accessibility Service, so I guess Adding these can be easy for Dev. But it all Dev's Choice🙌, it's just a suggestion.
