This is the best Search experience on the iPhone
Eclectic Air 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
Hands down, this is the best Search experience for the iPhone and iTouch. Super fast, elegant design that saves you time typing by offering query suggestions as you type. The search results page is integrated directly into the app, so no waiting for another browser to load. Includes web results, plus news results if there are related breaking news topics. You have to try this and see how amazingly fast it is. You won't be disappointed!
Sleek search app behaving much like Inquisitor on the desktop
gordeonbleu 4.0 stars Version: 1.0
This app feels and behaves just like its desktop browser plugin on Safari, Firefox, and IE, with its search suggestions and history. New to those familiar with desktop Inquisitor will welcome safe search and a list of supported languages. What's missing versus the desktop is the ability to add extra search engines like Wikipedia, Flickr, or IMDB. That would make this app compelling as a central starting point for all search on the iPhone. Add that, and this will be gold.
Great! As good as the Mac Version
fiercelyindependent 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
First of all, you should be able to view more than 20 results! This is only for quick look-ups, which prevents it from becoming a reference tool. Yous hould also be able to open the search in Safari in either Yahoo or Google, and should be able to have shortcuts that you could use to search for the term on a particular website in the Inquisitor integrated web browser or Safari. That way you could search in multipke sites and only have to use the iPhone's keyboard once. This would not be hard to program and is already in the desktop version. Image search would be great. Website thumbnails in addition to favicons that appear when you tap the website, so you can tap it without releasing to view a preview and can scroll to cancel it would be incredible. Otherwise, perfect!
Best. Search. Ever.
kuduba 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
yup. the best. you heard it here first.
Best Search
Cornholieo 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
This is by far the best search tool for the iPhone.
日本語でも検索できます!
PiPPiN_ATMARK 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
Settings>Inquisitor>Countryから日本を選んで検索してやると、サクサク日本語のHPにヒットします。
Nice and fast
acarlos1000 4.0 stars Version: 1.0
Nice app, fast and just works great The search for news mixed with the normal search results is a plus. Good thing is that it does not try to do everything at once. It solves the search in the web. Not search in the phone + voice and so on.
Better than Google
Soneal 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
Easiest and fastest mobile search with high relevancy results.
Must have for iPhone!
RanRoc 4.0 stars Version: 1.0
THE best search app, hands down! Starts searching as soon as you type. Shows a list of search results from different search databases (including google, yahoo), and also shows links to direct web pages. Most likely search inquiries at top of list. Click on a search result, and a mini preview/description consisting of a few lines about that search result displays until the actual web page shows. Your search result shows in an actual web browser; no need to open up Safari! Click "back" and it checks off the results you've looked at so you don't accidently click on it again.
Google?
Skylor Matthew 1.0 stars Version: 1.0
Add option to make default results google and I'll be happy! Big fan of your software dave! But you've been horrible lately with updating apps and being creative since you let yahoo take over. 
Yahoo!
`rahul 4.0 stars Version: 1.0
By far the best search app for the iphone... Only wish the search results were a bit better!!
Well executed
figelwump 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
This is the best executed, best looking search app on the iPhone. Nice.
So Far So Good
PlatoHead 4.0 stars Version: 1.0
I really like the app so far. The web search is richer and faster than Google's app. I have high hopes for this app and other yahoo projects for the iPhone.
wow... this is fast!
Bidgood 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
this app is lightning fast, very useful and, of course, free. if only the iTunes Store were this fast!
Slow and Troublesome
punkin puss and mushmouse 1.0 stars Version: 1.0
Even over a fast 3G or WIFI connection this app runs slowly.
Best app I've downloaded!
JptheRD 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
Love Love Love this app!!!!
Best search for iPhone
Dar74 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
This is by far the best web search app for the iPhone!
Awesome
DaraP 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
The only downside is that if you get a phone call you loose the page you were viewing on return and have to start your search over. Otherwise, the app is awesome. Fast! best search I've seen.
Pretty, but...
devPod46 2.0 stars Version: 1.0
First the good: - this app has a very pretty look and feel. The interface is well done. - stable and responsive. Now the bad: The concept is flawed. When I want to look up information rapidly it is always something very specific: e.g. Is "role models" good on RottenTomatoes? what's the definition of "SAAS" on google define? What does the wikipedia article about "blue cheese"? I feel this app amounts to a dressed up yahoo search. When I search in Inquisitor I stillness to sift through lots of results I have no interest in. I can do that with an app I already have: MobileSafari. Quik Search is the best for mobile searching in my opinion.
Awesome and zippy as on desktop
dudup 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
I simply loved it! If you really need to perform a search, Inquisitor is THE way!!
Quickest way to find anything!
Dwassink 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
Nice interface too:)
Best search yet
woldage 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
Good results presented very cleanly. Highly recommended.
Loved it in my browser, love it on my iPhone
moof77 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
I've been using Inquisitor for awhile now in Firefox and Safari, and I'm excited to finally have it on my iPhone. It's quick and easy to use, and it's handy having a dedicated search app like this on my phone. Awesome!
Best search tool for iPhone!
bumble bumble 4.0 stars Version: 1.0
It's way faster than other alternatives and the built-in browser works great. Excellent! So good that I just have to write a review: my first time doing so.
Very sleek...
N0chi 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
A Must have for iPod touch!
The best search app around

Very good
chriscoyne 4.0 stars Version: 1.0
The speed is fantastic. 2-3 seconds faster than Google Mobile App. Nice features and design. Like the sugestions. Needs search types... Like for searching images and voice search. A prelude to the new Yahoo Mobile App coming soon.
Real fast!
LJ26 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
I like how the web page loads in the app and has the option to open in safari.I wish the google app was like this!
wow. love it!
subface 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
i've been a huge fan of inquisitor with safari on the desktop for a while, so it's great to see it making searching on the iphone much easier. nice job! only thing i'd love better was if it was integrated into mobile safari itself, which i know is something apple doesn't allow.
Great search app
Kamehameha3 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
A couple of features stand out: search suggest as you type, and page summary as you are waiting for a page to load.
Quick! Slick design. Thanks!

Out goes google for the iPhone, in comes inquisitor. One word: rockin!
Great until 3.0
mattoca 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
This used to be the only app I used for searching. Was even in my dock. But since the 3.0 update it just freezes when I open it. Even tried restoring to factory, with no other apps, downloaded again, and same result. I'm using a 16gb "2g" iPhone.
Lovely
TruckZero 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
Totally nimble and attractive. Like a good _____. A pleasure to use
