A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

But that's the whole point of the feature, isn't it? (I don't even have Gemini installed.) You hold down the circle nav button (or do whatever with gestures) and then use your finger to circle the part of your screen you're trying to visually search for. "Circle to search", right? I use it to ID bugs and things. Or translate text quickly from a photo.
Are you saying you would use it for just text searches? I've never thought it was for that. There's a search box on the home screen for that, or just open your browser.
