AllFinder by SHAPE Services
SHAPE Services S60 3rd Applications, part 2 - AllFinder
AllFinder is another great app by SHAPE Services - allowing you to search keywords in your messages (SMS, MMS, and emails), contacts, and calendar entries. For business users and personal users alike, AllFinder provides a quick and simple way to locate items.
The app itself is wonderfully simple with very few options. The main screen is home to your search history and an entry box. You can either scroll through and select an item that you have previously searched for, or you can type in a new keyword(s) to search. Then simply hit the center key on the joystick to begin your search or press the left soft key to open access the few available options.
Searches are completed quite quickly compared to similar apps. Once the search is finished your results are displayed along with text clips showing your keywords and their immediate surroundings.
AllFinder is an app that serves a very specific purpose and does so quite well. When you’re searching for one or a few items among countless SMS messages and emails, this app really comes in handy. I’m actually surprised at how often I use it. When I vaguely recall a friend having sent me a phone number that I need in an SMS, I have the SMS on my screen in 10 seconds. When I wonder what date it was back in 2005 when I had a meeting with a certain company, AllFinder can tell me in a fraction of the time it would take to look through my calendar. If you find yourself with a smartphone full of data then there is no question that AllFinder will make your life much easier.
