Quick Phone Search
For a quick and efficient way to search information on your Android phone, Google introduce a new application called 'Gesture Search'.
Essentially you physically write a letter on your screen and the application will search everything in your phone with that letter in it. You can continue to add letters, to eventually create the word you were searching for in the first place but usually you don't need to progress the word that far.
Say you want to call your friend Anne. Just open Gesture Search and draw letter “A”, and Gesture Search returns a list of items that have words starting with “A”. If your handwriting isn't all that neat, that's okay. If the "A" you draw looks a bit like an "H", thats fine. It's just that all the "H" results will be brought up as well. If needed, you can also erase a query by crossing it horizontally: left to right erases the entire query, and right to left removes the last letter or space in the query. Now you can either scroll down the list to find Anne or write more letters to refine the search.
