It's a PITA to have to always scroll through page after page of apps to find what I'm looking for. What does everyone use or recommend with regard to an app that searches apps or the app drawer?
It's a stock feature to allow sorting (although manufacturers can skin that away), but the OP is looking for SEARCH capability. That, only a few launchers will allow. Or search apps like Google Now and the stock search app if manufacturers added one.Google Now is a nice alternative if you don't mind the interface. It may be a Sense 6 thing with HTC, but I thought it was an Android thing with KitKat.? In the upper Left corner I have a label that says apps with a drop down menu that allows me to use a custom layout, Alphabetical, or Most recent. If it's not an Android thing almost all of the launchers allow sorting. Solo and Nova to name two.

But if you don't know the name of the app, how are you expecting to search for it? oOThanks for your reply VidJunky. Searching for apps via Google isn't my ultimate goal; let's say that I don't know the name of the app that I'm searching for..........see where I'm going, lol? Thanks anyway.

Google Now doesn't need the full name, just the first few letters. For instance, if you type in FACE, it will show that you have a FACEBOOK app.
