If you typed anything in the app drawer which is not an app and pressed the enter button, it’ll automatically open up Google search, ready with the thing you wrote. Idk if it’s a new thing but it’s really helpful for someone like me who doesn’t use Google search as default.
NothingOS Tip: Launch Google Search Directly from App Drawer

Mr Steel changed the title to NothingOS Tip: Launch Google Search Directly from App Drawer .
Does it perform the search using the default search provider or is it only Google?
- (Edited)
That’s disappointing. For users who have concerns over privacy and big data, and choose to set privacy respecting search engines and browsers (for example, Brave for both) as the default on their devices, inadvertently sending search data and its meta data to Google might be considered a privacy leak.
Do you know of any way to switch it off?
But lose the function. Good that it can be switched off though. Hopefully Nothing will look at developing this idea so alternative providers can be used.
