While touching and holding Home button, the assistant pops up and asks whether to search for the contents on the screen. I am trying to get this action integrated into Tasker. But, I was only able to get the Google assistant to pop up and listen to my voice, it doesn't try to search for the screen contents.
I have attached the Screenshot when assistant was invoked using touching and holding Home button and using Tasker.
Please advise what I need to do to make Tasker promt "What's on my screen?" just like it asks when it is invoked using home button.

In every launcher if I long press the home button the Google search opens. Is there a way to open the Google VOICE search when I long press the home button?
Solution through App
There's an app called "Home Button Launcher" that lets you configure the "Home Button Swipe Up" gesture. In the app's options you can tell the app to directly execute an application or an action - it's called "Auto start mode" if only one single app selected.
I'm still not allowed to post outside links, so I can provide u an url directing to the app in the play store - sorry.

I think there is no search button? Only On/Off, volume, menu, home and back. If you mean one of these buttons (except from menu and on off), you can set on cm 10.2 (Maclaw), what happens when you short- or long touch on them.
Hey guys,
I'm looking to get rid of the google assistant on my Exynos Note 8 and replace it with the good old google voice search whenever I long press the home button, similar to what I had on my OnePlus One. Reason for this is that the scroogle assistant is demanding way too much privacy-invasive permissions to simply function, including requiring me to log-in and give access to all my personal data, just to do what I was already doing with the old google voice search on my OnePlus One without any nonsense privacy-invasion. Interestingly, the OnePlus 5 I bought for my mum still has this handy feature in its settings by long pressing the hardware home button, but long pressing the software button still brings up the scroogle assistant.
Anyone know of a way I can assign long press of the Note 8's virtual home button to launch the good old google voice search instead of the stupidly privacy invasive scroogle assistant?
Ok, after several google/bing searches, finally found a perfect and extremely easy solution to my problem, doesn't even require root:
1.) Download and install Home Button Launcher app from the Play Store
2.) Open and navigate to Settings > Apps > Select "Default Apps" from overflow menu > Device assistance app > Select "Home Launcher"
3.) Press and hold the virtual home button to launch Home Launcher
4.) Via its menu, add the "Voice Search" app, remove the "Google" app, and in its settings, check the "<<Auto start mode>> if single app selected" checkbox
5.) Vuala, welcome back google voice search without the stupid privacy invasion ?

Hey. Can you help me someone? I use google home mini on control my smart devices. But sometimes i want to use my old phone for(not voice controlling commands) In that case i must open google home app and tap (for instance: on/off light). But i want to widget on my home screen for every smart device in my home and turn on/off for simple one click. Is that possible? Thanks
In Google Home or Google Assistant, set up a routine that does the command you want. There's a button that creates a home screen shortcut that triggers the routine
Recently, Google Assistant stopped responding to voice commands initiated from the search bar/microphone at the bottom of the home screen. Now it just returns search results for whatever I enter, usually trying to set a reminder. Instead, to activate Assistant I need to scroll to the left screen (Google Now?), hit the "update" button in the top left and then use the Google Assistant microphone at the bottom of the screen.
Any ideas on what has changed or suggestions how to fix?
Thank you
