Universal Search is another great tweak that is integrated with your default Spotlight search. It allows you to search the web right from Spotlight. The best thing about this is that, it gives you options to choose the category of search you want to make, Like you can search for Movie reviews, Stocks, Dictionary, Google-News, Images, ESPN, Maps and so on.

Once you enter your search string it will show the things which are there on your phone and at bottom of your screen you will see docked icons like Wikipedia, Google, Maps, twitter, Movies and so on. So if you choose wikipedia it will launch Safari and show your search content on wikipedia, Likewise if you choose twitter it will open twitter on Safari and bring up your search string.

Few dock icons are stack icons i.e say if you hit News it will bring up CNN, GoogleBlogs and Google News just like your MAC stack app which is very cool and they are smooth to operate.
There are so many things about  it and I don’t want you to  bug you for long, I’d recommend better you play with it. It really saves your lot of time because of its categorize search.

Universal Search is available on cydia under Ste Packaging repo (Its a default repo comes with cydia) for $2.99
