An application that provides iPhone users with an intuitive interface and search results optimized for viewing on the iPhone has been released in the App Store. Downloadable free of charge, Taptu also offers the ability to share results with others.

“Performing a search on an iPhone can be a frustrating task, as the results are the same as those received on a desktop search and may not be viewable on a phone, for example a Web site running on Flash. Additionally, results are provided in long lists and multiple pages,” the folks at Taptu say.

“With over 1 million daily searches, Taptu is revolutionizing mobile search by providing iPhone users with the best search interface, search results optimized for viewing on the iPhone and the ability to easily share results and discover new content,” the company adds.

Key features of the Taptu app include the ability to display iPhone-friendly results (iPhone-optimized results eliminate the hassle of resizing, pinching and refocusing sites); Multi-Touch support for flicking through pages instead of clicking on controls (visual preview slides let users quickly navigate through results and select the most relevant ones); the ability to filter search results and find information from specific sources or types (Twitter, Wikipedia, blogs, or videos); the ability to share videos via Twitter, Facebook and email, and the ability to discover new content.

“With iPhone-search continuing to grow, it is vital to make search as simple as possible, while providing users with the most relevant content on their devices,” Steve Ives, founder and CEO of Taptu, shares. “Taptu’s iPhone app allows users to quickly and easily search through iPhone-optimized results in an intuitive and visual interface. The launch of the iPhone app is a huge step for Taptu, as the app addresses a key need for iPhone users,” he adds.
