Anybody else notice how the search in the xda app tends to bring back every result except the one you asked for? Have a for instance, last night I was searching for this thread (I assumed to be old) pertaining to the myTouch 4g and screen contrast issues. So i type in, glacier myTouch screen contrast. It brings back stuff on the evo, flyer, inspiration, the housing market in 03, and something about grape seeds and the allergic reaction they have towards condalisa rice... So maybe the last two were a lie, but you get my point lol there wasn't even any results from the myTouch 4g section lol

Yeah I hate how the xda app searches. I wish you can search a specific forum or thread instead of all the forums, sub forums etc...
I rarely use the search on xda. I get better result using google for xda specific items.
In my experience, all forums have garbage search routines. I never even use them. Use google instead. Put in your search terms and then put site:forum.xda-developers.com.

My thoughts exactly. I paid for it so I could use it. But i love xda lol they've helped me with a great many phones just wish my searches would work, or like darkman said, links to the app sounds nice as well. Isn't their a way to integrate google search into Apps?
sent from my 3devo of DOOOOOOM!!!
One of the biggest problems is that it sorts the results by date....which if you're looking for an older topic/post...good luck finding that....needs to have options to narrow search results.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
I have the same problem.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
the only real fix to this is to use a different SMS/MMS app. i prefer GOSMS Pro, over anything else.
its just the way the stock messaging app works, only way around it is through a third party app.
Go SMS Pro is much better then the stock sms/mms app
Holy crap! I just answered this very same question in another thread maybe 5 threads above this. How many times is this going to be asked? I'm too lazy to check which thread was first and I will admit that the XDA search feature is a bit annoying to use, but for FFS! Now I see why the older members are always *****ing.
That said, I will add substance to this post. I just switched to Go SMS Pro this morning and have to second the suggestion for it. It has been working fine for MMS and they come across just as expected.

cool story bro.
how long before this thread gets shut down now?
Ugh, another one of these threads? Thats what the search button is there for. The stock messaging app from Samsung uses the video viewer to view all multimedia, so that includes pictures. If you want pictures to come up in the gallery, I suggest you replace the Samsung MMS.apk with the AOSP MMS.apk.
Also, calling people a **** for telling you what to do or look for (while it may not be the answer that you were looking for) is not the way to get anything around here... and it will get you an infraction/ban if kept up.
Thread closed.
I found this in the E4GT forums but this definitely works for our phones(voice search doesn't seem to be working though)

...he linked to a file that was ripped out of the SDK and uploaded by someone else. He didn't compile it from source or anything. While that's nice of him to link to it here (I guess), it really doesn't belong here.
"Development" forums are pretty self-explanatory; if you made it, it goes here. If you didn't make it, it doesn't go here. We might sometimes be dicks about it but that's usually only because of how confident OPs feel about the fact they're perfectly within their right to put things like this in this section.

Now you're just being outright rude. It's not "your" parade. You didn't make this. You had no part of any bit of it. You for some reason are behaving as though you just brought us kernel source, but in reality, you simply reposted something that many, many people are already aware of and you had posted it in the wrong forum.

Honestly don't think it has to do with age some people are just like that. I can see the confusion between posting here and Dev forum since the original thread was posted in dev forum. Someone corrected OP, now he knows. Lets just move on.
I have had the Google Now for two or three days now and even though it doesn't have Voice, I prefer it over the default search. Before if you wanted to search for something on the web you had to search and then tap on the result and it would open it on your web browser. This actually opens it up right away inline within the app without having to open a web browser. You can then select images, places or your own phone. I think people that are looking away from it simply because it doesn't have voice search should give it another look. Between the cards and the inline searching, it's obviously better.
I don't know if this is better suited in the Jellybean thread, but I'd hate to see this drowned among the 100's of posts every day in that thread.
I am Swedish, but I've set everything possible to English (US) and to use Google.com instead of Google.se and to always speak back, yet it rarely does. It also completely ignores statements and only googles them. LIke if I say: "I can count to potato", it searches the web for it rather than throwing me a sassy comeback or whatever.
Google now only gives back useful information .. no jokes and useless chats.

Try vlingo or just use s-voice (based on vlingo like siri).
Iris would also be something you could try, it's almost only usable as chat bot.
Google now is to get informations or handle tasks, no chat bot.

Kinda guessed that the reply would be "Use the search". I haven't yet seen a guide that shows screenshots of what the code actually does. I.e: before a code change the ui looks like this [Insert screenshot here] and after the code change a Ui looks like this [Insert screenshot here].
I've seen developers create features for their ROMs, like quick settings in notifications and stuff like that. Building the ROM is one thing but adding features is another. I wish their was a complete guide out their.
A lot of xda threads are becoming more like court cases nowadays. I see people with feature requests and then the developer just rudely says "Thanks for Sharing!" And takes no notice as if what someone said was pointless.

That would probably be because it has been asked a few million times (yes, it's an exaggeration but I think you get my point).
A lot of people will be very helpful if you come in here and show that you tried to figure out something on your own. I've read all of this or searched Google and the site and haven't found the info. However, when you come here and ask a question that has been posed over and over again you can start to get a bit of an attitude. It's generally because you have shown no initiative to look or get the info yourself.
Would the guide you want be helpful? Sure would. It's not though so one has to a lot of digging to get the info. That is one of the ways you learn how to do things here at XDA. Then, after learning one can go out and write the guide that is missing.
Here is something for you. A thread explaining how to use Google to search XDA specifically. It's located in a specific device forum but is good for everything (and no, I have never owned a Hermes. I found it by searching ).
