Hi all! Just got the kit kat update. The new dialer, however, only searches for contacts I already have and does not bring up any local places/businesses search results. Anyone else having this issue?? Location is most certainly on!
What phones do that? All phones I ever had when you start typing their name or number on the dialer it just pulls up your contacts only

Was wondering the use thing.
I wouldn't think this feature would be exclusive to the Nexus.
Maybe it has something to do with Verizon wanting to push its 'Caller ID' service maybe???

You guys might be misinterpreting the feature. I don't think it will search for local businesses when you are dialing. When call comes in from an unknown number, it will search local directories to see if that number corresponds to any company, then it will display the company name instead of 'unknown caller'.
Hmm, never saw that. Seems pointless to me. Why wouldn't you just click the search bar at the top instead of the dialer? You're basically typing with a T-9 keyboard to search instead of using Google's actual search feature with a regular keyboard.
Exactly so instead of just calling the contact you want on the dialer, it's not going to use your data and gps everyone you use your dialer. Great.

According to this YouTube video, you have to turn the feature on for the Google caller ID. I don't have my Moto X yet to try.
