Help with voice search toggle

[Rich215]

I do not see a way to have my G6 function just like my G5 did with a voice search que.

On the G5, I use a google voice search icon to do a 1 button touch voice search/query to instantly use. I am not sure if this was possible on my G5 because I originally set it up when it was running Marshmallow.

My G5 screen shots of how I had it setup and used:

What I want to see after 1 touch button toggle:


So then, can anyone tell me how to do this with the G6 Vs988. I also have always used nova launcher with this process in tact. Thanks for any help.

If you have Google assistant, just say "OK google" or hold down the home button.

I am trying to not use Google Assistant or have the OK-Google running. There is a specific reason I need it to work like this.

If you're using Nova launcher, long press on your home screen to get to settings and widgets. Tap the widgets icon. Select Nova action shortcut at the top. Drag and drop it. Once it's dropped a list appears. Scroll down and select voice search. Alternatively, if you have Nova prime, you can assign a gesture to activate the same voice search action. Eg. Double tap on screen or swipe up etc
