Target where you want to search

Initially, the Google search box displays the All icon , indicating that it’s configured to search and provide suggestions form both the web and your phone. But you can target your searches to just the web or to just a single application’s information on your phone.

You can configure what applications and other collections of information you want to be able to search for on the phone; see “Change what you can target when searching the phone” on page 98.

The search targets panel opens with icons for All, for Web, and for the applications you’ve checked in the Searchable items settings (see “Change what you can target when searching the phone” on page 98).

Touch to open the Searchable Items settings, to change the items in the panel.

Touch Web to search only the web. Or touch an application to target your search to just that application’s information.

If the panel of icons does not open, you pressed the Search button while working in an application that has its own search feature (see the documentation for that application to learn about searching it). To search elsewhere, return to the Home screen and press the Search button again.

You can now target your searches to just that application, by entering text. As you type, only suggestions from that application are displayed below the search box.
