One thing I always hated but never realized I hated was how small Google.com’s search box area was when visiting the site on mobile Safari. I mean it’s ridiculously small.

Well they’ve updated their search site to include nice, big, fat text that’s easy to see ‘n’ read. Nice. Also the list of suggestions, although still as weird and goofy as ever (“Why is my poop green”), are also nice and big.

But there’s still a major problem. If you need to add text to the end of a search you already made, but the end of the text was beyond the area you could see, you can’t reach it. This was a problem before, and is still a problem now. At least we have the option now to “x” out the text in the search box, but that can be a big pain for anything long and complex. And the text field, of course, doesn’t support auto-correction, so that can make retyping your text a “orivlem” (problem).

But over all, I think this is a great update. Now I wish they would release an app or mobile site to allow us to edit and create Google Docs.

I was doin’ business today and someone said an attachment they sent to me via my Gmail needed to be open when I was out somewhere. I said no prob, but then realized the problem that you can’t search mail, and it was taking way too long (freezing) to load up “older messages”.

That won’t be a problem when OS 3.0 comes out. It’ll include a global search (Ooo, big whoop, Pocket PCs have had that for years. Let’s be real.) But, that won’t solve the problem. Unless they allow the Mail program to store more than the small amount it does now, that global search won’t be that useful for old email because the Mail app only holds so many messages. If you need to search for something that came in, let’s say a month ago, searching for it won’t find it.

The solution? For Gmail, if your online, go directly to Gmail.com and search that way. Don’t worry, although it’s a bummer to have to go on Safari to search, the good news is that searching from Safari Gmail.con is the same as searching from normal Gmail.com. Anything you’d expect (for the most part) is there for ya online.

So, that’s the solution. Wanna’ search your mail? You can do it as long as your online.
