I had my E70 set offline, I launched the Nokia Mobile Search program’s My Content & it works w/o internet connection… other option is this older standalone My Content search:

I noticed that you cannot perform a “my content” search without an internet connection.

When you launch the app, it’ll ask if you’d like to establish an internet connection. If you choose “Do not allow”, and you try a “my content” search later, you can’t do it.

Which seems very odd. I don’t necessarily need an internet connection everytime I search for something in my phone. Its fine if I’m using this sitting at home. Its fine if I’m using this sitting on a bus (since GPRS is based on data transmitted). But it won’t be fine if I’m travelling and using an auto-roaming service, since every connection will cost money.

I think this is a minor tweak Nokia needs to adjust. The other is: ask for permission to connect to the internet _WHEN_ i need the connection e.g. when I’m going to do a search on Yahoo!, but not necessarily in the beginning.

The new version of the Nokia Mobile Search with My Content search (searching for content stored in your device) was not available when the press release hit the wire. Open up Search, go to Options -> About to check the version of your current Search application. If you don’t have Search v3.2, go to the site http://www.nokia.com/mobilesearch, download and install the latest. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I have e61 and t-mobile usa. Just downloaded from link above (http://www.nokia.com/mobilesearch) and installed. Launches just fine and searches all content on my device without any modifications.
Thanks!

I installed the Dutch version on my Nokia E61: V2.21 Pack 3. You cannot search for content stored on the device. Perhaps it takes a while for MobileSearch to ask if you’d like to update. The previous version of MobileSearch took a while (read: after using it several times) to ask if I wanted to install “Local Search”. Perhaps this is a similar issue?

This doesn’t work even with the UK Version, Local search does not appear to find the yellowpage website, in fact it’s not even listed as a search provider in the Options.

They say in press release:

“Nokia today announced that its Mobile Search application is now able to search for content stored on your device, ranging from emails, text messages and calendar entries to videos and music file”
