A launcher and universal search comes built-in with the Palm Pre unlike many other smartphones which need a separate application to add this function. This app allows you to start typing from the home screen and the universal search feature immediately begins to show results with just a few partial keystrokes. 

The launcher searches through applications, settings, contacts, and almost all other areas of your Pre by default. If it doesn’t find something, it offers you the option to search via Google or Wikipedia, or plot it on Google Maps. With the highly functional keyboard, this application will significantly reduce the number of taps required to perform a given task. Many tasks can be completed much faster with this launcher application.
