S Voice or Google Now

To bad there's no S Voice S Finder widget for the home screen, right? I use spotlight search a lot on the iPhone and was hoping for something like this.

EDIT: Sorry, I meant S Finder. I can't find the delete button to erase this post?

S Finder is awful...huge POS.

Google now is pretty bad with certain Bluetooth devices in the way it tries to launch Google now when you hit the headset button. I am hoping this has been resolved in Kit Kat 4.4.4 It's also somewhat weak when trying to search a contact - sometimes doesn't get the name right - it's nowhere near as smart as Siri, or the BlackBerry voice command for that matter. It's better than S Voice, but that's not saying too much.

I have been pleasantly surprised so far with S-Voice for BT calls on my Note 4. It no longer takes up the whole screen, wishes you a good day, and asks if you're sure you want to call who you said. I'm happy with it for now.

Can you ask Google now or S voice to navigate to an address of a person in your contacts? Example: navigate to John Doe.

Yes, you can with Google Now, but in 4.4.2, it pops up the contact's address. You actually have to click the address for it to go to the map application, where it will start navigating. Not sure if that changed in 4.4.4
