Help Wait we have a Search button on the side of the phone :/

I keep forgetting about that button, I never seem to use it..
so my question..

Is there any apps that allow this search button to become something i WILL use?
Such as a task switcher, which i would love :D

Thanks :)

If you have CyanogenMod/Android 2.3 installed you can do this by going to Settings>CyanogenMod Settings>Input>Search Key Behaviour>Check the 'Search Key App' box>Custom Application then select the app you want to launch when you hit the search key :) (Link to install CyanogenMod)

I'm using PreHome and this works brilliantly! just what I wanted :)

Thank you dudeman1996 once again <3

EDIT:

Aso set Quick Settings to launch when i hold the search key!

I set them both to open in windows slightly smaller and slightly transparent so you can still see the running app behind them and it looks teh sex :)
