About Search to browser

This app forwards GLOBAL_SEARCH intents to your default browser.

This can be useful if you are using the Quickstep launcher without Play Services.

The launcher contains a search bar but very few app (except for the proprietary Google app) support the intent this search bar sends.

So this app allows the search bar to launch a search in your browser instead of doing nothing.

How to install Search to browser

  1. Tap Download — the app's official page on F-Droid opens.
  2. Install it with the F-Droid app (recommended, for automatic updates), or use the download button on that page.
  3. If Android asks, allow the F-Droid app or your browser to install apps, then tap Install.
  4. Open Search to browser from your app drawer.
