What's New in Version 2.3
✔ New Source - Wikipedia - search for and discover relevant information around you from the world's largest encyclopedia.
✔ New Source - CitySearch - find restaurants, local businesses or services using the popular yellow pages infobase by Citigrid.
✔ In the last release, we introduced Google Places. Though the results were reliable listings, users craved the bulk of information that they were other wise discovering with Google Local. On popular demand, we are bringing back Google Local along with Google Places as 2 separate sources, with this release. Either can be independently enabled / disabled from the Source Manager screen.
✔ Added 3 new pre defined search terms - Lawyer, Plumber and Bakery along with a few new and improved icons.
✔ Updated Facebook API integration to fix search
