Hey everyone. I was wondering if anyone knew how to have the google search widget be able to search my phone as well. I have the Eris and i see on the google sync demo they have the nexus and it does it there. so if in the search box you type bar it will display any application you have that has the word "bar" in it as well as contacts and then the search feature.
ive tried everything to make that hazppen but am at a loss now. is it only on the Nexus?

Did you try going to Menu>Search>Searchable Items? Make sure the things you want to be able to search are enabled there.
Also, not sure if the Eris has one, but I use the Magnifying glass on the Moto Droid to search instead.
If that still doesn't work, try the app "Power Search" It does a better job of searching phone content!
is it possible to update my phone to the android 1.6? I have the HTC Eris and i see that build is for mostly tmobile phones. but i know that i could update my Blackberry to other OS regardless of carrier.

As far as I know, there's no way to do that unless you root your phone...
I dont see that in the menu as an option? i have all programs, scenes, add to home, wallpaper, notifications, settings
Slightly confused...Not sure where you're at.
From your home screen:
Press menu
Press search
Press searchable items
Mine has:
Contacts
Browser
Apps
Music
YouTube
Google Sky Map [Which I downloaded]
AK Notepad [Also downloaded]
Are you trying to search the phone itself, or the SD card? [What exactly are you trying to find with your search, a contact, a note, an app?]
what i would like to be able to do is to have the ability to search my phone for contacts, apps, or web from the home screen just like in the demo here: Nexus One Phone - Web meets phone.
if you click on the search it will show you a demo. if you type "bar" is shows the app barcode scanner, or the contact Barry. i want that feature available to me'
From your home screen:
Press menu
Press search
Press searchable items
Make sure the items you want to be able to search have a green checkmark...
yeah i def dont see that ability. from my home screen if i press menu i only see what i had stated above as options. other then that i dont see what you mean for search. Is that ability on the Droid Eris for VZW
