Direct launching

In addition to searching for your contacts and websites, QuickGold also allows you to call numbers and visit sites directly.

Start typing in numbers (use the phone keypad for convenience) and an automatic entry appears which allows you to call the phone number. This way, you can use QuickGold as the fastest dialpad available.
Start typing in a website URL and hit "Go" to visit the website.

Custom searches

With QuickGold, you can search the web easily and quickly. Here are the shortcuts:

g [words]: search Google
p [words]: search Powerset (best used as a better formatted version of Wikipedia)
m [words]: search Google Maps
i [words]: search IMDB

Battery Life

QuickGold runs as a SpringBoard addition, and hence is always present. So it uses a little more memory, but it stays completely idle until you invoke it. So, there is no adverse effect on the battery unless there is a bug.

What about memory?

It depends on how much stuff you have on your iPhone. If you have thousands of contacts, the memory usage will increase. If you have thousands of text messages, it will increase even more. Be sure to turn off indexing of things you don't need.

For "normal" people, QuickGold takes about 3-5 megs of memory in general. In contrast, WinterBoard typically takes 11-12 megs.

QuickGold is causing crashes!

That's bad. Very bad. Please install the package logmailer, and send the syslog report immediately to me at:
