Nokia Gives Mobile Seach An Update

Remember back in October when it was revealed that the popular Content Search application that was preinstalled on the E50 had become available?  Well seems like Nokia took notice and thus brings us (all of us) a new and improved Mobile Search application with the content search combined. 

Espoo, Finland - Nokia today announced that its Mobile Search application is now able to search for content stored on your device, ranging from emails, text messages and calendar entries to videos and music files. Just like with desktop search applications on a PC, Nokia Mobile Search indexes the information stored on your compatible Nokia device and then lets you search to find what you want, when you want it.

"Nokia Mobile Search has proven to be a hit with people who want access to information and services at their fingertips and now we're bringing that same ease of use to search for content you already have on your Nokia device," said Ralph Eric Kunz, vice president, Multimedia Experiences, Nokia. "Whether you are trying to find a calendar entry, find the SMS your friend sent days ago, or track down a multimedia file you downloaded, Nokia Mobile Search is the easiest way to find what you are looking for on your device."

Working with over 20 partners from around the world and available in over 40 languages, Nokia Mobile Search is a simple, convenient, and fast way to find and connect to content you want - whether on the Internet through local service providers or search engines or already stored in yourcompatible device - directly from your Nokia device.

Nokia Mobile Search with My Content search supports the Nokia N95, Nokia N93i, Nokia N93, Nokia N92, Nokia N91, Nokia N91 8GB, Nokia N80 Internet Edition, Nokia N80, Nokia N76, Nokia N73 Music Edition, Nokia N71, Nokia E70, Nokia E62, Nokia E61, Nokia E60 and Nokia 3250 devices and available as a free download for compatible Nokia devices from  http://www.nokia.com/mobilesearch.

i tried out the mobile search software on my N70 by getting the link via sms & all it seems to do is online search through yahoo or windows live & its got a good yellow pages directory(infomedia) which helps u find anything in ur city(if listed) & is quite reliable & handy.... it also has good maps for places tht even google maps doesnt.... but i cant seem to get it to search for stuff on my mobile... not bad app but doesnt do wht it said.. ie mobile searching... is tht feature limited to S60v3 only?

one more thing if u check the 'How It Works' tab on the site, it started showing demo's of online searching quite a while back & a new tab of content searching has been added.... so do i have to download the s/w again?

I've installed this, but all my localsearch plugins have been deleted in the process. Does anyone know how I can get them back?

Yes, unfortunately, My Content search (searching for content stored in the device) is only for S60 3rd edition devices. So, N70 is not supported at this time.

To get the local plug-ins back, try exiting the app and then re-entering. If you don't have the plug-ins, you should get prompted with an update message to download & install them.
