Instead of typing out keywords, you can speak your question and receive an audio response, making it especially useful when you\u2019re on the move.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">It also supports follow-up questions, allowing for a more fluid back-and-forth without starting a new search each time. Helpful web links are surfaced alongside responses, so users can do their own research. <\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Visual search through the camera is also possible. By pointing your phone at an object, landmark, or even text, you can ask questions in real time and get immediate, context-aware answers. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-use-search-live-\" class=\"_subHeading1_1k87u_111 _base_1k87u_1\">How to use Search Live?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\"><b>Search Live is available on both Android and iOS devices<\/b>. To use it, open the Google app on your device and tap on the \u201cSearch Live: button. To be fair, the button can be a bit ambiguous to users, so we\u2019ve highlighted it in the screen capture below. You can also set up a widget for quick access on your home page. However, we noticed that on iOS at least, Search Live is only available on the \u201cmedium\u201d widget.<\/p>\n<div class=\"_columnImageContainer_wioo3_46\">\n<div class=\"_column_wioo3_46\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_base_12j3k_1\" alt=\"Google Search Live\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto\" width=\"640\" height=\"1140\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/1c91ee2892170cb63370d973adb892b403dedf4f19236d1041bcbe5710c69387?w=170&amp;q=85 170w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/1c91ee2892170cb63370d973adb892b403dedf4f19236d1041bcbe5710c69387?w=270&amp;q=85 270w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/1c91ee2892170cb63370d973adb892b403dedf4f19236d1041bcbe5710c69387?w=330&amp;q=85 330w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/1c91ee2892170cb63370d973adb892b403dedf4f19236d1041bcbe5710c69387 640w\" src=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/1c91ee2892170cb63370d973adb892b403dedf4f19236d1041bcbe5710c69387?w=330&amp;q=85\" style=\"--custom-aspect-ratio:0.5614035087719298;contain-intrinsic-size:640px 1140px\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"_captionContainer_wioo3_69\">\n<p class=\"_imageCaption_wioo3_165\">The icon for Search Live can be unclear, but it\u2019s the one that the red arrow is pointing at.<\/p>\n<p>Photo: HWZ<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"_column_wioo3_46\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_base_12j3k_1\" alt=\"Google Search Live widget\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto\" width=\"640\" height=\"1140\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/4ed36642a24eda7774c939dbc086d5cd1aebffcb89894e95874fa31b85a2e907?w=170&amp;q=85 170w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/4ed36642a24eda7774c939dbc086d5cd1aebffcb89894e95874fa31b85a2e907?w=270&amp;q=85 270w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/4ed36642a24eda7774c939dbc086d5cd1aebffcb89894e95874fa31b85a2e907?w=330&amp;q=85 330w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/4ed36642a24eda7774c939dbc086d5cd1aebffcb89894e95874fa31b85a2e907 640w\" src=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/4ed36642a24eda7774c939dbc086d5cd1aebffcb89894e95874fa31b85a2e907?w=330&amp;q=85\" style=\"--custom-aspect-ratio:0.5614035087719298;contain-intrinsic-size:640px 1140px\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"_captionContainer_wioo3_69\">\n<p class=\"_imageCaption_wioo3_165\">You can also create a widget to access quickly from your home page.<\/p>\n<p>Photo: HWZ<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"what-results-do-you-get-\" class=\"_subHeading1_1k87u_111 _base_1k87u_1\">What results do you get?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Using Search Live is like talking to a chatbot in real life.

If you find it difficult to keep up, you can tap on the \u201cTranscript\u201d button in the bottom-right corner to read and follow along. And if you have follow-up questions, you can just ask straightaway without starting a new search.<\/p>\n<div class=\"_columnImageContainer_wioo3_46\">\n<div class=\"_column_wioo3_46\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_base_12j3k_1\" alt=\"Google Search Live demo\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto\" width=\"640\" height=\"1140\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/2f0d2fb6f51df9f8611024d3c9bf1dffef83ce007dc87480d8b1014f37edca2c?w=170&amp;q=85 170w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/2f0d2fb6f51df9f8611024d3c9bf1dffef83ce007dc87480d8b1014f37edca2c?w=270&amp;q=85 270w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/2f0d2fb6f51df9f8611024d3c9bf1dffef83ce007dc87480d8b1014f37edca2c?w=330&amp;q=85 330w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/2f0d2fb6f51df9f8611024d3c9bf1dffef83ce007dc87480d8b1014f37edca2c 640w\" src=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/2f0d2fb6f51df9f8611024d3c9bf1dffef83ce007dc87480d8b1014f37edca2c?w=330&amp;q=85\" style=\"--custom-aspect-ratio:0.5614035087719298;contain-intrinsic-size:640px 1140px\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"_captionContainer_wioo3_69\">\n<p class=\"_imageCaption_wioo3_165\">As it responds, it\u2019ll also throw up links for you to do your own research and explore the topic further.<\/p>\n<p>Photo: HWZ<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"_column_wioo3_46\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_base_12j3k_1\" alt=\"Google Search Live demo\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto\" width=\"640\" height=\"1140\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/f7f48076182e00a1118ee4f1caec148c468dfd1ab79b279fceb2f306539eccbb?w=170&amp;q=85 170w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/f7f48076182e00a1118ee4f1caec148c468dfd1ab79b279fceb2f306539eccbb?w=270&amp;q=85 270w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/f7f48076182e00a1118ee4f1caec148c468dfd1ab79b279fceb2f306539eccbb?w=330&amp;q=85 330w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/f7f48076182e00a1118ee4f1caec148c468dfd1ab79b279fceb2f306539eccbb 640w\" src=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/f7f48076182e00a1118ee4f1caec148c468dfd1ab79b279fceb2f306539eccbb?w=330&amp;q=85\" style=\"--custom-aspect-ratio:0.5614035087719298;contain-intrinsic-size:640px 1140px\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"_captionContainer_wioo3_69\">\n<p class=\"_imageCaption_wioo3_165\">Tapping the \u201cTranscript\u201d button lets you read the response.<\/p>\n<p>Photo: HWZ<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">As Search Live rolls out globally, it underscores Google\u2019s broader push to make search more proactive, personal, and accessible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Source: Google<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hardwarezone.com.sg\/guides\/how-to\/how-to-google-search-live-singapore-availability-global-launch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google has rolled out Search Live globally to more than 200 countries and territories, including Singapore.
