The oddly named OpenURL NCWidget is yet another way to go about performing Google searches from Notification Center.
As you may already be aware of, there are already a couple of tweaks in the Cydia store to make searching from Notification Center a reality, but this one adds a few new features not found elsewhere...

TubeCenter — as its name might allude to — is a tweak that allows you to place a YouTube widget in iOS 5's Notification Center.
The only problem with this tweak, is that it lacked any keyboard support — at least it did during my initial testing.
Once it's updated with the proper keyboard support, fans of YouTube could find this tweak useful. Check out our synopsis inside...
When we used the basic version of WeeSearch, we came a way a little less than impressed. While the pro version of WeeSearch isn't perfect, it's a lot better than its predecessor.
With WeeSearch Pro you can search a variety of built-in search engines. If that doesn't suit your fancy, you can even add your own custom search queries.
The great thing about WeeSearch Pro is that you can do all of this without ever leaving the comfortable confines of iOS 5's Notification Center...
By default, Notification Center only displays 4 lines of text in any of your messages. This is okay, but for longer messages like email, it forces you to open the message to read its entire contents.
With More Lines in Notification Center, a jailbreak tweak available on Cydia, you can display up to 12 lines of text at a time, which is usually enough to read the body of an entire (moderately sized) email or text message...

Once iOS 5 was officially released to the public, it was like a flood of Notification Center jailbreak tweaks hit Cydia all at once. It was so much at one time that it was hard to wade through it all.
Now that the flood has finally turned into a manageable stream, we figured it was the appropriate time to highlight some of our favorite Notification Center jailbreak widgets yet...
In general iOS 5's new notification banners are a good thing, but sometimes they wear out their welcome. Unfortunately, there's no built-in method to quickly dismiss a notification banner, you just kind of have to wait until it decides to disappear.
That sounded like a job for the jailbreak community to tackle, and indeed they did. The result? NCQuickDismiss...
