About the search feature in LLX:
The search feature is a good tool, you improved it with the ability to search letters inside name, (and also you fixed some related bugs) these are some suggestions, maybe they are easy to implement…maybe.
1)ENTER key make a new line…useless. Why not make that ENTER key launch the first app of the list? (Maybe also highlight it to be more visual)
2) Not sure if this is some android feature, but in a lot of apps where you can search, the search text is highlighted over the other words. For example if you search [ttin] you’ll see in the list: ‘android seTTINgs’ , ‘google seTTINgs’ … (the mayus means another color, different background…)

What would be nice is for the results to be ordered a->z. So if you put in A, all the words beginning with A, show up first. If you put in Ap all the words with Ap in it (say Appstore, Maps) show up alphabetically as well. Or maybe toggle it on or off or whatever if you don’t like A->Z.
I think highlighting is App specific as Google search and Floatifications and LL do not, but Appsi does (I know there are more but I stopped at the first one I found).

All three suggestions are great. Regarding the first I must admit that I feel gulty : I was aware of it and forgot to fix it 🙁 Launching the first app is indeed the correct way to behave.
Highlighting is a bit complex to implement due to the architecture of the app, I thought about this but gave up. Same for order but I think this one is more important, I will try to implement it. Highlight is good for feedback, but order is required for efficient search.
