Hi all, I recently noticed today that my homepage with the google quick search bar, whenever i press on it, I see that my history has <b> at the beginning and ends of all searches. How do i disable that or make it go away?

Hi all,
Just did the OTA update for 4.1.1 and I'm eager to try Google now, but I cannot seem to get to the main screen. What I mean is that if I swipe up from the softkeys and bring up google now (or by any other method), the main screen appears for a second, then jumps to the search screen. The option to opt-in and use Google Now does not appear at all and there is no response to pressing the menu button when I am on the google now main screen.
Any ideas on why this is happening?
Thanks!
For me the main screen is just the one when I press the "Search" soft key when I am at home screen, or the search bar at the top of the home screen.
You have to activate/opt-in by hitting Search Key>Menu button>settings. It's the first item to select in the settings.
Thanks for the feedback.
I took some screenshots to clarify my issue:
When I get to the google now home screen by either hitting the search key or the top search bar, it looks like this: db.tt/9jaob1Rv (sorry I cant directly post pictures yet, add the http in front)
At that page, the menu button does nothing until the screen changes to look like this: db.tt/TKsdxrBM (again, put the httpin front)
When I click the setting screen, I get these options with no mention of Google Now: db.tt/Mf4jqMvM (again, put the http in front)
Any ideas?
Thanks
That's odd. Could it be because you're in Canada? It might be a regional thing. I wish I knew how to help, but that's the only thing I can think of. I don't see why you wouldn't get GN though since it's available in a ton of languages.
Are you using a gmail.com account as your main account?

You sir are a genius! I usually use my university address because it uses the gmail engine but when I added a gmail account, it gave me the option to use google now.
Thanks to everyone that helped!
Ok so I'm probably being dense and missing something obvious but I have no Google Now on my N5. I've got the 'Ok Google' Voice activation working by selecting English US in the voice search settings. But I cannot swipe left on the home screen and if I click the search bar it just brings up the search box with my search history.
Edit: Found it - Touch and hold on the home screen > settings > turn on google now

You have turned google now off, to turn it back on, press and hold, on home screen, and go to settings, and select google now, then you can switch it back on from there.

You must have posted as I edit to update I found it but some thanks coming your way
Hello. In the Moto Z2 play there is a preinstalled app called ''Moto''. In this app there is a toggleable setting that let you choose if you want to enable the navigation bar or if you want to disable the navigation bar (and navigate through gestures on the fingerprint sensor).
I want to toggle this setting through tasker. For example, if I open a certain app, I want the navigation bar to be enabled, while if I open another app, I want the navigation bar to be disabled and use the gestures.
I'm not even sure that this can be done with tasker. I've searched the internet and read about intents, activities, services... But to be honest I didn't understand much.
Can someone help me?
Create some Scene and add simple button. In Task tab create task and using + sign choose Scene -> Show Scene. In the Tap after clicking some button, hit + again search in the panel below for Bar and choose it. You cannot make toggable button that way, but at least you will have two buttons to test on one when bar is hidden and other with showed action.
Then find on google some "toggle tasker button" or just "toggle button code".
Create third button, paste the code with if-then-else statements code and paste both switches from panel, to make bar hide and if else, show.
Good luck!
Maybe this has been asked before but i cant seem to find any answers. I would like to remove the search bar and home keys from the bottom of the home screen. When I am in an app ( any except google maps) they disappear off the screen and you need to swipe up to bring them back, I would like that to be the same with the home screen and maps. I am running android 10 beta build 5 if that has anything to do with it.
I'm having trouble finding out how to add a shortcut onto the home screen.
In Chrome I want to add a shortcut for a website as a home screen button. When I click the button "add to home screen" a notification popped up for a very short time and I could read it. It won't pop up again and I don't know what it wants me to do to solve the problem.
The same thing also happened with Google. I want to add Google weather to the home screen. In Google I searched weather and then tapped the option button, and click the add to home screen button. A quick notification popped up and disappeared again. I tried to add it over and over and nothing happens, no error notification either.
What options on permissions do I have to set?
Please help.
Sorry, not an answer to your question but as it's also home screen related, am I correct in saying there's currently no way to set which panel you want as your home screen? For instance if I want to have seven home screen panels but set the middle fourth to always return to upon launch?
I know I can use the app draw but I liked for instance, the ability with EMUI to be able to organise my apps/widgets so I could say, quickly swipe left from the home panel to see all my gaming apps grouped together, or quickly swipe the other way to see others easily.
