An application name QuickGold has been released in Cydia today, and I’ve never seen anything like it. By pressing the home button while on your home screen, you can search your entire iPhone, much like Spotlight on a Mac. You can launch applications, display contacts, go to webpages, open webclips, and even dial numbers. Screenshots inside.
The search screen fades in when you press the home button fades back out just as easily when you press it again to close it. The applications load very fast. It also does not interfere with what you have set as your double tap of the home button. I have yet to find any bugs, and I’ve been using it a lot!
*EDIT* An application show up called Springboard. Do not open this. It seems to disable all springboard related processes (QuickGold, Dock, etc…). A respring fixes this, but it’s best to avoid it altogether. Also, if you’re moving your icons around and you press the home button to make them stop wiggling, QuickGold pops up. A little annoying, but I wouldn’t consider it a big deal.
Here are some screenshots:

Press the home button just lightly and the wiggling will stop without QuickGold popping up. Quicke a handy app I’d say :grin:
Cool! Now you iPhone / touch Users got Mac’s Quicksilver :cool: Enjoy! BTW: who will gonna continue developing Quicksilver? I can’t imagine working on Mac again without Quicksilver…
I wonder how this will work once they figure out how to jailbreak the new iPhone OS, and some of us upgrade. The new OS uses the same trigger that lauches QuickGold to return you to the first home screen if you are on one of the other home screens.
