When I try a search querie in the Google Search app for Android (I am on the lastest nighlty of Cyanogenmod 9). Google Search has the tendency to kick me out after just typing one letter, but when I just open the Google Search app and leave it, it remains at the screen. Also it does give suggestion after just searching with only one letter, like for example 'w' gives whatsapp etc. So is anyone else having this problem, and how did you solve it?
(It does work somethimes, but that has a smaller chance than it kicking me out. There also isn't any mentioning that the app has crashed. It just brings me back to the android home screen...)

Hi guys, having a slight problem with the market here, quite often when I'm searching for something in the market it will not display my results, it will say "9 results found for (app name)" and then it will give me search suggestions underneath, the only way for me to fix this problem is then to use my task manager, end the market task and then re-open the market and search for the app again, all results then display correctly. Now this wouldn't be such a big problem if it did it rarely but if say I'm searching for apps for 20 mins, it will do this about 6 times. Now it did this on the default Hero ROM when I first got the phone and now I'm on MoDaCos 2.9 ROM and it still does it, anyone have a solution? cheers
Pretty obvious what I need help with. Anyone know how to install google search?
Download it from the market
I think he means how to use the search key and root it to google which can't be done at the moment

google search keeps force closing
this is odd...
after uninstalling bing and installing google search from market it was working fine for a while (1-2 days)
now whenever i type more than 2 characters into the google search box it force closes.
tried uninstalling / reinstalling and clearing the app's data- no dice.
also tried with email history enabled and with it disabled.
any ideas?
I have mine working OK, but not with the Voice Search from the market. What I found was that the Voice Search from the market did not fully integrate with maps, etc (like saying: "Navigate to" came up with some ridiculous kbbb or something else, and speaking for an instant message was hideous).
I renamed the BingSearch.apk and the Bing service apk (can't remember the exact name) in the /System/Data directory (I'm rooted). I pulled the Voice Search APK out of a 2.2 ROM (specifically from my old device - Eris) from the System/Data directory and installed that (uninstalling the market version first). It integrated fully with EVERYTHING, but as of now, like you, my physical Search button doesn't work.
My search Button doesn't work with bing either lol. Straight outta the box. Nothing.

i'm rooted too. wish my google search would work when i hit the search soft key
This isn't for Google Search but it was posted for using the search to bring up the phone. Better than not being functional at all and you may be able to figure out how to make it Google Search.

The problem with that is it changes the functionality of the Search button entirely. For some, that may work, but in certain applications, that button is still a method to search (like root explorer).

Its not the app. I just went through this when I got the Charge. Go to your Google dashboard and go to speech and click anonymize recognition. This deletes the voice recordings stored from your previous phone. Mine was coming up with kkkkk stuff when I first got the Charge. I guess different devices pick up your speech in a different manner. Try it and see if that fixes your issue.

Are any of you having issues with the Google Now search of installed applications? I have the checkbox checked in the Google Now settings (Settings -> Phone search -> Apps- Names of installed applications), but sometimes this just stops working until I go into the settings again to uncheck and check it.
This also happens with my Contacts

Yes! This just started for me a couple days ago. The only thing that setting you mentioned above does for me now is search THROUGH installed apps for hits, but no longer brings up the app itself. Unfortunately your fix of checking and unchecking doesn't seem to do the trick for me (I'm on a Note 2).
For anyone who's not familiar with this behavior, it's a really nice feature of the main Google Now bar everyone should have on their home screen:
Punching in part of an app name in the Google Now bar pulls up hits including the app itself.
It's very convenient to for example turn on your phone, type in "Scan", and get as the top hit the Genius Scan app for example (you might only remember the "Scan" part of the name of the app).
Or type in "Face" and the Facebook app shows up. (Partials work.)
It's very similar to the iOS left-swipe search, the Windows 7 Start button, and OSX Spotlight.
Hunting and pecking through the app list is for chumps.
After today's Google+ update patch, this issue is now resolved.

yey.. luckily
So I updated my z3 compact to 6.0.1.
Everything works fine except for one thing - switching between apps. Before I could switch between app and continue from where I was.
Now they are reloading. As if they are started anew.
For example if I am reading a long article in chrome and switch to facebook app and then back, page is reloaded and I end up at the beginning, meaning I have to scroll down, find where I stopped. Same with facebook, it is reloaded and I have to scroll through timeline or a group etc. This is just an example. It is the same with other apps too. Wasn't like that before.
Tried googling, tried checking settings - no luck. Am I missing some obvious setting or something? Does anyone else had this problem? It is really annoying.
Thanks for help.
Another 'Marshmallow is broken' post .....yawn....
I am not saying it's broken. It works fine.
I am just looking for a way to sort out app reloading.
It might be some sort of app management, app disabling / killing when their are not used.
Maybe it's similar to Samsung spmc?
Have you tried asking your question in the Marshmallow thread? where people are interested in the latest broken firmware release.
This thread links to an app that is supposed to make things right again
Hi,
I just got the Nova Launcher set up on my P10. I tried duplicating the Google Pixel 2 layout, but one thing is annoying me. When pressing the Google search bar that comes with Nova it opens the Google app. I want it to open Chrome instead. When disabling the Google app to try forcing Nova to use Chrome, nothing happens when i press the Google bar. I then contacted Nova support, but they told me "Nova is coded to use whatever your device has set as default. That's not something you can change within Nova itself."
But how can i sett Chrome to default? I just dont get how this works. Does anyone have a solution for this?
I think that is normal. When u use google search bar, the search result will appear in google app. But when u select the search result, it'll open in chrome.

Yes, thats exactly what happens. But i dont want the Google app at i all. Just wish there was some way to connect the search bar to Chrome instead.

I have also tried this but no luck. After some thoughts on the matter I actually don't see the difference in touching the search bar and typing something or touching the Chrome icon and typing something... So I stopped using the search bar at all...

I know what you mean its not something i really miss, but i think it looks more nice with the search bar.
Anyways, it would be much smoother if it didnt actually open the Google app at all, but instead you could type directly into the search bar.
