Help Swype search button

gabner · Jan 31, 2012

Im using the modified Swype for the galaxy nexus.

Any time i need to search gmail i have to switch to the native keyboard for the keyboard search button. Anyone have a solution our is everyone having to do the same thing?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but couldn't you just use the gmail search button?

There used to be a search button in the gmail app but not with ICS.

There's a "want-to-search" button which brings up the box to fill in with your keywords but no "execute-search button". For that I have to switch to the default keyboard and hit the keyboard's search button.

Am I the only one?

Is the modified Swype still available for download? I looked and looked but could not find a legitimate download.

Thanks for the reply. I have that search icon also and it let's me type in a search term but what do i press to execute the search? Can you go a couple more steps into a search for me?

Just press what is the return key on the Swype keyboard and that will start the search

Haha, You have to be kidding me. Thanks so much Steve! No more constantly switching between keyboards.
