Today Taptu announced that they’ve rolled the real-time search results into their iPhone app.

With the new version, we have added integration with OneRiot, including:

  • Real-time hot topics right on the home page
  • Real-time search results that appear alongside other search results
  • Filter for Real-time results

In addition to OneRiot integration, we added a few other things in to this 1.6 update :

  • Thousands of new Touch-friendly sites
  • Re-tuned the engine to improve relevancy including one-tap access to the most popular site
  • Super fast pre-loading of source sides while connected via Wi-Fi
  • Bug fixes & memory leak fix
