Just installed it on my 8800 and had some fun with the voice search. Very cool!

How does this compare to other search apps like TellMe and Beyond411?

I really like this one. Is this using Tellme for voice search? I heard that Microsoft had acquired them or something like that. It seems to be a little bit slower than the Tellme app. I will use this one a lot more than I did the last one. Nice work Live team, you have a fan here

Nice! One of my favorite apps on the blackberry!
--It would be nice if we could 'hide' some of the modules on the bottom somehow in the options. I could care less for the 'web' link. Now I have to scroll down to open up the weather.
Perhaps in another version?

does it insert searched contact into address book yet? This is seriously missing from the app. Beyond411 and Find it both do it.

What’s New?
The new version of Live Search for BlackBerry has the following new features:
• Contact Integration. Save a search result to your contacts for quick access later.
• Mail to a Friend. Send a text message with search result details to a friend.
• Speech Recognition (for GSM devices with BlackBerry OS 4.2 and later). No need to type – for yellow page listings, just say what you want to find!
• Web Search. Initiate a web search from within the application just by clicking the ‘Web’ icon to get results from various other scopes, e.g. Web, News, Images, and more.
• Weather. Get current weather conditions and a 4-day forecast for your current location.
• Improved Searching. Speak or type an address into the main search box – try saying “One Microsoft Way Redmond Washington” or your home address.
• Increased Traffic Coverage. Up-to-minute traffic info for more cities, e.g. Dallas, Indianapolis, and more.

Did you Configure the GPS in the options? That is what I had to do initially to get it to work properly.

Maybe I missed it but would love to see the ability to do search from "Current Location" and not have to type the location in.

Yep, you missed it.
You can definitely search from your current location based on your GPS position.

Click the Near: field... choose ' Enter new Location...'
Pick GPS location from the list.
As MrKyoo mentioned above, you may first need to Configure GPS in the app settings.
Open the app, press menu button, choose Options then Configure GPS.

Try refreshing your GPS first in Options - Advanced Options - GPS - menu.
