App Developer Needed for Web

Hello:

i know that an Internet Search prompt can be made available. I’ve had access through TV before years ago using XBox, I believe & an external keyboard. Of course accessing the Internet is slow & bulky by design but certainly possible. I searched a few months ago for a ROKU search engine app and found nothing. In the last few days I discovered “Search Google with the Web”. 

It is a paid app to my dismay offering two options:  70 searches @ .99 or 300 searches for $2.99.

Having experienced how tedious pulling up a direct url can be using the onscreen keyboard or even an external KB if you can figure that out - I already knew that even 70 urls is a ridiculously large amount as most will opt to use their phone & cast. However, some do have a need for Internet access through the Router/Modem & independent from their phone &/or PC &/or Wi-Fi. I know this because it’s something that I personally need. And, if you offered it as well as could advertise its existence, I think there exists a chance to create an app that’s worthwhile. In fact, since I was willing to pay for it even, there is a chance that it could be more lucrative than say the online games & hoping ppl will purchase useless tokens. The problem of this medium being tedious & cumbersome crosses all of those apps.  Using either the remote or the onscreen keyboard makes things pretty difficult. 

If developers were to utilize a search engine such as Bing or DuckDuckGo (whatever), there is actually the possibility of monetization through searches & advertising also. Browsers can have built in ways to generate revenue for the developer. Yet even if you only offered an address line where only an exact url could be typed in to visit a specific page - it would be an app that people want and would want if they knew about its existence. It could be monetized like the theory behind the Google search by charging for the number of urls that could be visited. I’m just pointing out that there is incentive for someone to create this particular app  

The Google Search app wasn’t Google as it a was rife with typos. Also it doesn’t work at all so I just got a refund on my .99  Tech Support searched for any other possibility for me to access the web but there isn’t anything created at this time. I understand that there was recently some falling out between Google & ROKU but I’m not sure that has anything to do with why the app doesn’t work. However, it could. 

Would someone please create a way to access a url through the router/modem -ROKU interface? They asked me on the phone if I could access the web otherwise with my service. Of course - that’s how I watch YouTube.com or really anything else with Roku. So the web works fine & I can run my phone through the Wi-Fi. I’m looking for a solution that doesn’t require my phone, though. 

Thanks & I really hope someone will run with this. I’d like to know about it for sure. I’ll definitely use the service & I’d be glad to even spread the word of its existence if that would help.
