Now You Can Write Your Own Search Queries

Local SEO, Search Engine News, , , , ,

There’s a new way to search on Google; writing your search query via Google Handwrite. Now when using a touch-screen mobile device, you can handwrite your search query rather than typing it. Google explains that when you’re standing on a busy street corner, in a bumpy taxi ride or just sitting on the couch with a friend, Handwrite lets you search by just writing letters with your finger anywhere on the touch screen. You no longer have to deal with a keyboard covering half the screen or “hunt-and-peck typing.”

Handwrite is the newest addition to the many ways to perform a Google search. Now you can speak your queries, get results before you even finish typing, search by image and handwrite your queries!
