You're probably accustomed to using the Google Mobile App on your iPhone and iPod touch. However, Google has just overhauled that app and has added tons of new features, and with them, comes a brand new name. Introducing, Google Search App.
However, there's much more to the Google Search App, other than the simple Google Search functionality.
First, you’ll see that there are now more ways to interact with the app. When browsing through search results or looking at a webpage, you can swipe down to see the search bar or change your settings. For those who use other Google apps, there’s an Apps button at the bottom of the screen for rapid access to the mobile versions of our products.
We also included a new toolbar that will make it easier for you to filter your results. You can open this toolbar by swiping from left to right — either before you search or once you’ve got your results. If you only want images, just tap “Images,” and the results will update as shown:
It is now easier to pick off searching from where you left off in Google Search App. If you have left the app and return later, you can either perform a fresh search by either tapping in the search box to type, hitting the microphone button to do a voice search or tapping on the camera icon to use Google Goggles, or you can tap the lower part of the page to get back to where you left from.
Finally, there are a number of improvements we’ve made to everything else you love in the app, including Google Goggles, Voice Search, Search with My Location, Gmail unread counts and more. There's a lot in the app, so we've added a simple help feature to let you explore it. Access this by tapping the question mark above the Google logo.
