This is what Google is known for:searching the Web.With Google Search,your phone is the key to the world in your pocket—figuratively speaking,at least.
Searching for Websites
There are a few different ways to search Google.You can do so from the home screen:just scroll to the right,enter your search term,and press Enter.You can open the web browser, press the Menu button,and tap Search.Or you can just go to Google.com in your web browser.
Type what you want to search for in the box,and press Enter.
When you start typing,you see a drop-down list of some common terms matching the letters you’ve entered so far.
This process is like auto-complete,but it uses logic inside Google to figure out what you might be searching for.If what you want appears in the list,tap it.Otherwise,keep typing until you’ve finished what you want to search for,and then press Enter.
Searching for Images
When you load Google.com,you see four options just above the search box.
If you tap Images,you can search for—you guessed it—images.Let’s try searching for lilacs.
If you see an image you like,tap and hold the picture,and then tap Save image.The image is saved to your phone’s memory.You can access it by launching the Pictures application.
Local Searches
The Local search sandwiched between Photos and News is like a local phone book.You can search for restaurants,appliance stores—whatever you’d normally pick up a phone book to look for.Google gives you addresses,phone numbers,and,on occasion,customer ratings.
Searching for News
At the far right you see the News search option.This lets you search for news items on a certain topic.Try tapping the News link and searching for the name of your favorite sports team,favorite movie star,or favorite writer.
Google pulls from newspapers,news wires—any source possible to provide you with up-to- date information about whatever you search for.
