Default Google, the search company, remembers to add a search bar to one of its app

  • Google is prepping a new search bar for the Devices tab in the Google Home app to help users quickly find connected devices.
  • The company is also readying Material You theming support for the app.
  • These features are not live in the current stable release but could roll out very soon.
The Devices tab in Google Home can get pretty crowded if you have a full-fledged smart home setup with multiple smart speakers, cameras, and other connected appliances. This makes managing devices a bit of a hassle, especially if you havent labeled and organized them properly. Thankfully, Google has finally thought of an innovative solution that should greatly simplify the process.

The Google Home app currently doesnt offer any way for you to quickly look up specific devices. However, that could change with a future update. Weve spotted evidence of an upcoming search bar for the Devices tab in version 3.23.1.3 of the Google Home app that will make sifting through your extensive device list much easier. The search bar will appear at the top of the Devices tab with a prompt stating, “Search devices here.”
