Microsoft's Next Lock Screen app now lets you perform web searches without unlocking your device

Microsoft has pushed out a new update to its Next Lock Screen Android app. While the app's version stays at 3.7.1, the update brings along a useful feature: the ability to perform web searches without unlocking the device.

Currently, the only search engine supported by the app for this feature is Bing.

Here's what the change-log says: "Bing search: enable search experience on your lock screen. You can now do quick search without unlocking your phone." To download the updated app, head to the Source link below.
