"This Swiss knife of search widgets is a must-have for Android users"

NOTE: This app will change the appearance of the 'CSBW' search bar widget; NOT the appearance of your stock launcher's search bar. Add the CSBW widget to your home screen to apply changes.

GOOGLE NOW vs. GOOGLE WEB SEARCH

  • Text searches default to Google web search.
  • Microphone searches default to Google Now (Android 4.1+).
