Cloudmagic Brings Fast Cloud Search To Mobile Users

By Cornelius Nunev


Desktop and laptop search for Gmail, contacts, calendars and more, even in the cloud, is not something new. But when it comes time to search by means of smartphone, Gmail search is deficient in speed and capability. With CloudMagic, however, cloud search across numerous platforms by way of mobile is simple.

Using the new CloudMagic

CloudMagic has been accessible on larger devices for a while but only recently did it make a splash in the mobile market. The move followed a major service update last fall, when Twitter updates were involved in search results and their move to cloud computing started. Now, Gmail, contacts, calendars, Twitter, Google Docs and much more could be indexed in the cloud via OAuth technology.

As reported by TechCrunch, CloudMagic is actually "surprisingly fast." The service is much better than the built-in search feature found on smartphones, which is a lot like the Google Search mobile application, as reported by N.R. Chirag. Chirag is a CloudMagic and Bangalore Institute of Technology representative. The program could be found on both Android and iPhone smartphones.

"It is not only faster than native searches, it integrates your personal data across different online services. It is like one search box and you can search across all your personal data," he said. "Indexing Google and Twitter services is a start. There are many more to come. With the increasing online services, we believe one needs a fast integrated search."

As reported by TechCrunch, Greplin has a lot more services to offer than CloudMagic such as Dropbox, Tumblr and LinkedIn. This is why CloudMagic may have to add more services if it is going to succeed.

The change to a mobile app

Even though CloudMagic was released in 2010 as a Chrome and Firefox browser plug-in, it is not required to use the smartphone app. You can still use it if you need access to CloudMagic search in Gmail and Twitter. The plug-in initially was able to index Gmail and Google Apps data.

Looking your email for things

In the past, the From, To, Topic and All sections were the only ones you could search with an iPhone as part of your email. Now, you can search for whatever you need with specific named. You can find everything with a PDF attached to it by going to "filename: pdf." CloudMagic makes email search much better.
