    Default Google Now Camera Search

    Just realised when you are in google now you can use the camera to search for things. Thought I'd share as I think its a really cool feature and wasn't aware of it until now.

    thanks for sharing. this feature got added with the last google search update along with many other

    What's in this version:
    For Android 4.1+ (Jelly Bean), Google Search keeps getting faster, plus:
    New cards:
    - Events nearby
    - Suggestions to help with your research
    - Boarding passes from Gmail (United only, more to come)
    - Search by camera when at museums or shops
    - Weather at upcoming travel destinations
    - Approximate monthly summary of walking and biking activity
    - Birthdays
    New voice actions:
    - Post to Google+
    - Say "What's this song?" to find the song you hear
    - Say "Scan a barcode" to find product info

    yeah i've seen it before and it doens't work very well I don't think. It's probably still in beta or something and only works on popular product logos and stuff. Tried taking a picture of my computer and no results. Took a picture of a pdf printed out and no cigar on that either.

    Its the same code from Google googles. they merged the codes to Google search. I tried it once in a German bar.
    tried searching the logo of a beer and the search returned what i was looking for.
