Open Source Mobile Operating Systems Search Software

KISS (Keep It Simple and Stupid) is a blazingly fast yet incredibly small launcher for Android that requires nearly no memory to run. It expedites searching through the apps, contacts and settings of your Android device, giving you just one simple interface to find everything you need fast. No need to skim through dozens of other apps just to find one-- simply enter a few characters and hit enter. Need to make a call? Just enter the first three letters of the contact's name and hit the phone button. No more time and effort is wasted on searching, and you won't have to look at long lists of contacts or a grid of application icons doing absolutely nothing. KISS is smart and gets smarter as you keep using it, remembering your most commonly accessed search results.

In software engineering, the active record pattern is a design pattern found in software that stores its data in relational databases. It was named by Martin Fowler in his book Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture. The interface to such an object would include functions such as Insert, Update, and Delete, plus properties that correspond more-or-less directly to the columns in the underlying database table. Active record is an approach to accessing data in a database. A database table or view is wrapped into a class; thus an object instance is tied to a single row in the table. After creation of an object, a new row is added to the table upon save. Any object loaded gets its information from the database; when an object is updated, the corresponding row in the table is also updated. The wrapper class implements accessor methods or properties for each column in the table or view.
