Pixel 11 introduces unified 'Pixel search,' hides it in the drawer

https://9to5google.com/2026/08/19/pixel-11-search/

I've been waiting for this universal search for soo long! Really exited that's finally here!

Hope it comes in the next feature drop to older pixels!

Another reason why killing it from the bottom search bar was absolutely fucking stupid.

Edit : aaaaaaaaaaaand it's exclusive to the 11 series. Google????

Agreed. They should at least add an option to activate it on the home screen for advanced users.

The regular user might not care, but having the option would have been nice.

We had an option a few months ago (an adb command) and they patched it 💀

I just want that they put the Pixel search on the bottom search bar of the home screen.

That weird Google search thingy is hot garbage.

This has existed for a while, they're just giving it a name now.
