@andrea No proxy support by now, but I'll try to add it in the next version.

Is it normal that it does not work behind a proxy?

The interface is on a bit too large for no significant reason, but it works. As others have requested, list customization(prioritizing the list) would be a great improvement. I also wish it could fetch a little bit of info on the search results(like when looking for Wiki pages, tell a little about the topic). Otherwise, it saves me a lot of steps and time(as opposed to jumping into the browser) so its definitely a worthy app.

Nice app. One improvent would be that one could change the order of the service on the first view.

Very useful app. I use it a lot when I'm in 2.5G and I just want to get some Wikipedia results, and loading the front page just to type into the search box is a waste of time.
