Let me clarify what I meant: Wikipedia works fine for single words, but for two words it doesn't return a response. Any two words with space between returns "wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name".

For example, Thomas Jefferson. The URL when I type in AskDroid is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas%2Bjefferson, whereas if I type in wikipedia's website the URL is http://en.wikidpedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Jefferson. Another example would be butterfly effect:
AskDroid: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly%2Beffect
regular: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_effect

There seems to be an extra "%2B" when I type in AskDroid.
But for single words it works perfectly fine.
Dear Iotta --

in a short way: Correct. Error present. Fixed. Pls update. Thanks a lot for telling us!

And BTW, once you update, it will be a whole new major release. We now have colors, options, labels... and 181 search engines.

I should also explain my "clunky" comment: The icons are larger than the other icons I have on my Nook Color homescreen. Also, the bars on the top and bottom are relatively thick, IMHO. I also would rather choose/edit the search engines by going into AskDroid and selecting menu preferences as opposed to having the plus sign on the left in the widget itself. For me at least, once I choose my search engines I rarely, if at all, need to change them again, so the plus icon just adds clutter to the widget.

For what it's worth, I would like to see the icons a tad smaller (maybe adjustable?) and a thin border all around the widget.

And just to balance out my comments, I still use AskDroid and it is a very useful widget! Thank you.
Can you post a screenshot with our widget on it? We made the widget originally for smartphones to sit on a small screen, ebooks is a total new thing for us. If we look at how it appears on Nook, we might later design a new widget typ that will be better suited for you Nook owners.

Sincerely, Linda
