There is a Search Plug-in, but it is not "linked" to internet (only searches for the pages in your app). However, if you use a Custom URL, you can browse the internet like on Mobile Safari

Thanks Skyr0s Yeh basically i want to be able to search through the pages in the app that i have created rather than the internet...so if i searched west ham it would find the west ham page that i made in the app or something along those lines?? Is that a function within BT or do i need to add something else?? Cheers dude

Yes, this plug-in does exist, allthough it does not exist under version 2.0. If you are in v.1.5, then it is with "Menu List" and "Menu Button"

You can create an appearance of a search. Setup a website with app info. Have search function return results as if were searching the app. Fred

Not possible. Hopefully it'll be available in BTv 2.0 soon. Meanwhile consider using an index page. Fred
