Google is working to add a floating search shortcut to its default search app on Android devices. It will help users easily access text-based search or voice-based search. The search shortcut will remain on the home screen as well as when using different apps to let users instantly get answers to a query from anywhere on the device.
Dragging the shortcut out of the docked position reveals the pill-shaped design of the UI. When opened, users will also see two additional buttons to temporarily hide the search bubble or turn it off. Moreover, when users launch the Google app after the feature rolls out, they will get two new options to “keep” the shortcut or “Remove” it entirely.
