If you like swimming against the currents, you probably also enjoy running Flash content on your iPad. If so, you should know that the Flash video browser from Skyfire Labs Inc. has received a few awesome enhancements.

Download Skyfire Web Browser 5.2.0 on your iPad today and you’ll get Omnibar Search, “a single unified input field for both running searches and navigating to a web address,” according to the developers.

It’s now easier to switch between search engine providers (such as Google, Bing, Yandex, Baidu, Yahoo, and Ask), thanks to a minor interface tweak.

A Touch Glow effect has been added to give you a progress indicator for long presses that pull up the Contextual Touch Menu for sharing or copying stuff to the clipboard.

Speaking of which, the Contextual Menu / Sharing menu flow has been improved as well. Menu actions also have Success messages now. Finally, some new Skyfire Horizon mobile extensions are available.
