Galaxy Nexus w/ JB 4.2.2. I have on my primary home screen what is probably the original search app. It is a blue button with a white mic in it and is labeled Voice Search. It opens with the microphone active, ready to receive voice input.
On a secondary screen is, from what I'm now reading in the forums, Google Now, a blue button with the stylized Google 'G' in it and is labeled simply 'Google'. Tapping that brings up the mic {and card system that seems to indicate that it's Google Now) but you must say 'Go Google' to activate the mic. An extra step, but NBD (No Big Deal).
The lone app that is installed that would seem to run one or both of these is titled 'Google Search' and is v. 2.8.8.849369.arm.
Both buttons seem to work exactly the same, search results-wise, which begs the following question:
Which should I keep; both buttons, one or the other, or none. (this keyboard won't type a question mark).
Or just shut up and go away; we've got bigger things to worry about...haha
Thanks,
