The Verge: Google releases keyboard for the iPhone with built-in search features
Google has today announced a new keyboard for iOS devices that directly integrates search functions. Called Gboard, the keyboard features a button on the upper left that lets you perform web searches, look for images or GIFs, or even search for emoji without ever leaving the keyboard. Results from web searches can be instantly pasted into a text box. The Verge’s Casey Newton exclusively reported that Google was working on such a keyboard for the iPhone back in March.
