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
services, which you can use to search within those applications.
You can also dial a phone number with the Voice Search application, as described in
“Dialing by voice” on page 88.
To search your phone and the web by entering text
1 Press the Search button .
When you press Search on the Home screen or in many other applications,
Quick Search Box opens.
In some applications, such as Gmail and Contacts, the application’s own search
box opens when you press the Search button . See the sections about those
applications for information about searching in them. To search your phone and
the web instead of that application, press Search again to switch to Quick
Search Box. That is, 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 58.
2 Enter the text you’re searching for in Quick Search Box.
