Launcher Search List adds a fast, searchable application list to the app grid, making it easier to find apps when your collection grows. Frequently used apps can be pinned for instant access, with flexible display options to match your preferred workflow.

Not a new launcher, just upgraded stock one. Configurable (via Patchmanager's patch list).

To access the app, either use new icon visible in App Grid (always last item) or quickly swipe left from the stock App Grid.

Features:

  • search apps by name (hit ENTER to launch top result)
  • tap homescreen to peek pinned apps
  • swipe up to access search again
  • pin up to 7 favorite apps to launch via peek (homescreen tap)

Thanks, great work! I would really appreciate being able to set the list as the main page, and having the text input field automatically selected.
Edit: maybe a settings to ignore specials chars too.
