But the advantage of not having to switch apps is still missing on Android. I don't think it's "cramming it in" when that's the main benefit of the system.

- skrowl 10y agoNow on Tap is available anywhere in Android (even when you don't have a keyboard / input area displayed) by just holding down the home / circle key. There's no switching of apps required.
- spinchange 10y agoNoT doesn't allow you to copy the SERs back into the previous app/keyboard context does it? It seems like at least one app "switch" is still required to share what you just looked up, because it takes you out of the app to present the search results.
- Zikes 10y agoI just opened Hangouts and pressed and held my Home button for NoT. After a few seconds of analyzing the screenshot it finally came back with a "no results found" screen with a Google Search field at the top. I typed in "dancing cat gif". Switched to the Google Now app for results. Tapped Images to get image results. Found the gif I wanted, tapped on the gif. Gif opened and played. Pressed and held on the gif, nothing happened because Google Now doesn't let you press & hold to save images.
