Gboard for Android, Google’s alternative keyboard, has received an update which brings new search features.
When conducting a search by tapping the ‘G’ button, Gboard will now display multiple results that can be browsed through in a carousel-like format.
New icons have been included within the search cards in Gboard search results. These icons can be used to visit the location on Google Maps, call the business, or watch a YouTube video published by the business.
Emoji search results have also received an overhaul. If you don’t want to browse through multiple screens of emoji to find the one you’re looking for, there is now an option to draw the emoji, and Gboard will display matching suggestions.
A non-search-related feature has also been added. Gboard now has the ability to offer phrase suggestions, predicting what you may want to type next based on the text you have already entered.
