NP2 user here. Essential Search just arrived for me. Everything works like a charm, and fills my longing for a device-wide search that I known from iPhones. Keep calm guys, it’s coming and it’s well worth the wait!

JP

Is ir safe?? And make sure to remove this…because you might get strike on posting this .. now i have the app👍🏻🫡

Samarth97

Samarth97 so i tried and it doesn’t do essential ai search just basic search like app and photos etc.

dazedbwoy You can find an APK repository and download and install the latest Nothing Launcher (3.3.6) and Essential Search, both dated July 15th 2025. (Just look for releases by Nothing and you’ll find them side by side released on the same day)

You’ll need to manually give additional permissions to Essential Search, but once done it’ll get the AI search functionality. I have it running on my NP(2).

Only cosmetic changes are made. Behind it is a hollow structure, no mathematical calculations or general search queries are processed as in phone 3. Just search bar moved downwards that’s it

Got the beta update from the playstore it doesn’t work as shown in the preview where it also can do maths and all its works just like q global search probably those features are only for phone which supports essential assistant ? 🤔

Anonymous994 How will you able give it permission manually!!

Ritikk

Anonymous994 yeah bro it’s working on CMF Phone 1 too thanks!!

AgentY

Anonymous994 Can you specify which permissions should I give to essential search for it to fully work? I gave it geolocation, calendar, contects and SMS and that is all it requested, but the gemini integration doesn’t seem to work, what else should I allow it?

dazedbwoy

Anonymous994 bro i downloaded it and gave all the permissions by going to settings but still it is not working like the ai thing.

Go to; Settings > Apps > See All

Find Essential Search and tap it.

Select Permissions

Ritikk is there a external app for this?

Is this the app?

I downloaded it from chrome

is it the official one?

Radek W

rasikkondvilkar79 The only reliable one comes from Google Play Store. Ones from APK Mirror may be incompatible with your phone model since Nothing controls the rollout process for different models.

Just updated to latest 3.3.6 available on Play Store. Works fine, no bugs or anything.

Essential search unavailable - option to choose search option also unavailable. Nothing Phone (2) here. Very disappointed that Nothing is not pushing Essential Space onto their (2) series.

SebastienTo Present under home screen layout. But doesn’t work as NP3.

Anonymous994

SebastienTo See my comments above yours. You can get it working, I have it on mine working just fine. I just wrote how to do it right above your comment.

PinoLY

SebastienTo On my N Phone 2 Essential Search is available.

(but it doesn’t have all the features of “real” essential search)
