Searching your phone and the web
You can search for information on your phone and on the web, by typing in Quick
Search Box for Android or by speaking, with Google search by voice.
Some applications, such as Contacts, Gmail, and Maps, have their own search box,
which you can use to search within those applications (you know you’re in an
application’s own search box when its icon is at the left).
You can also dial a phone number with the Voice Search application, as described in
“Dialing by voice” on page 80.
To search your phone and the web by entering text
1 Press the SEARCH button.
When you press the SEARCH button on the Home screen or in many other
applications, Quick Search Box opens.
Many applications, such as Gmail, Contacts, and Browser, make special use of
the
Search
button, which they indicate with an application icon to the left of
the search box. (See the sections about those applications for more information
about searching in them.) To search your phone and the web instead of that
application, press the
Search
button again to switch to Quick Search Box (in
other words, no matter what application you’re working in, pressing
Search
twice opens Quick Search Box).
You can also search the web with the Search widget on the Home screen, if you
have added it there (see “Customizing the Home screen” on page 52).
