Important Features needed in Essential Launcher

Components

Essential Launcher like the name implies is an open source application that every Android user needs to use, it is very light, fast and doesn't lag, this app is an app used to personalize an android device, but presently the app lacks few features for customization.

Proposal

my proposal is about these features called the Search, layout and drawer feature,
although my major concentration would be on the search as other feature may seem trivial but necessary
The Search gives the user the ability to search their applicatons in a case where there are many apllication or the user can find the application, cause most times lookng for aplication can be really stressful and tiring we dont see them cause there are alot of application, we may find them but after a period of time before we see them, so if this search is implented all the user needs to do is remember the name of the application and use the search feature to locate the app,even if the user cant remember all the name of the app or the spell it.
Layout and Drawer Feature can be counted as one:
features that can be found under this category are the sort, text size, the color of text, icon size(grid size).
the sort feature can help a user find and arrange app in order to make them easy to use or find, The sort feature has the ability to rearrange app based on the date installed, size, name(Alphabetical A-Z, Z-A), Most used.
Text size is a feature that allows users to set the text size on the launcher incase they cant see the default text and or its too large.
icon size this feature allows user resize their app icon in a case where the icons are either too big or too small the user would have the ability to set the icon to the preffered view or size.

Mockups / Examples

my mockups would show whwreand how this features can be implemented
present look

how it should look like and implenmented

the images shows how the search feature and the more options can be be implemented and located

this image show whats inside the more opions
which are the sort,icon size and colour of text and size

Benefits

The added features have a lot of benefit firstly the search feature reduces the stress of having to look for apps for hours and longer time all the user need to is search the app, which means it also saves time. sort feature makes the launcher smart and very orginzed for users and also gives users quick access to their app in order of sequence or use,
icon text and size can benefit users who has eyes issue or defect which means they either can see small text or they have to strain their eyes to see text they would only have to increase the size of the text or if its otherwise they would have to reduce the size of text or icon.
which makes essential launcher a very essential app for adroid devices and users.
