- By default, your phone will come with a Google Search widget on your main home screen. You can use this to search not only anything on the web, but anything on your phone as well.
- Start typing and your phone will first begin displaying and filtering contacts. If you tap a contact, you will be brought to that contact entry where you can call, text and so on.
- Back in the search page, you'll see suggested web searches below your contacts.
- If you tap the Google icon on the widget, you'll be able to select or deselect what resources are included in a search.
- Tapping the microphone lets you do a voice search which allows you to simply tell your phone what to search for.
