Pixel search

The Pixel 11 series introduces a feature called Pixel search, enhancing the app drawer search bar to retrieve not only apps but also photos, files in Google Drive, calendar entries, and more. This feature is preinstalled on the Pixel 11 and Pixel 11 Pro and was hinted at during the Android 17 beta phase. Pixel search has also appeared on Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Fold 8 Ultra. It integrates within the launcher, allowing access to various Google services through the app drawer search bar. Pixel search can surface files, images, calendar entries, text messages, contacts, specific emails, upcoming alarms, and troubleshooting guidance. It is currently exclusive to the Pixel 11 series and select Samsung devices, with no information on availability for older Pixel models.
