Android Now Includes Scribble Searches

“Yeah I don’t feel like scrolling down my contact list, I just want to scribble a letter and let the phone do the rest”. I guess that was the original idea when they’ve started developing the Android gesture search.

And the functionality is as simple as that, just scribble a letter in your Google phone and Android will recognize the letter as an input, and you’ll get the result. Here’s a little sample:

This feature will be available on Android 2.0 or higher. And the gesture search will work not only with contacts, but you can find applications, bookmarks, music, etc.

Also the system has some interesting features:

• If you type a letter that looks like a different letter, the search result will consider both possible letters.
• The system is prepared to learn from every time you search, and your selection will appear jump to the top of the list the next time you try the same search.
