Google’s Circle to Search feature has been a hot topic in the Pixel community. This innovative tool allows you to effortlessly search for information directly on your screen. Whether it’s looking up a word, translating a phrase, or finding out more about an image, Circle to Search offers a streamlined search experience. However, for those still using the 3-button navigation, it means long pressing the home button no longer triggers Google Assistant and instead, it launches Circle to Search.

Initially launched on the Pixel 8/8 Pro, Circle to Search quickly expanded to the Pixel 7 series and so users have had some ample time to experiment with the feature. However, the question remains — has Circle to Search become a staple in your search routine?

To understand how Circle to Search has impacted the way Pixel owners search for information, cast your vote in the poll below and help uncover real-world usage trends.
