Hello! Welcome to Android Central! If you are wanting to do a google search, you should just be able to tap the microphone picture on the google search bar and speak directly into the google app. You shouldn't have to access the mic through your keyboard. If the mic in the google app doesn't work, make sure your google app is up to date and check google settings to make sure it has voice recognition set up.
