Searching your phone and the Web

Google Account to use this feature. The

Show web suggestion check box needs to be

Searching the Web and your phone using the Quick Search Box

Enter the search item in the Quick Search Box. As you type, matching items on your
phone and suggestions from Google web search are shown as a list.

settings. See “Setting Web and Quick Search Box options” for details.

If what you’re searching for is in the list of suggestions, tap it in the list. The item opens
in the appropriate application.

If what you’re searching for is not in the list, tap

to search the Web. The web

browser opens, displaying results of a Google search on the Web.
