Anything you’d search on Google, you can search with Gboard.

Now that Apple allows iPhone users to install third-party keyboards, it opens the door for apps that not only change the way you type, but which can perform other functions.
You would think since it owns Android, Google would save the quality experiences on its apps for its own mobile operating system. With the new Google button in Gboard, users can search for information, send what they find, discover GIFs, emojis, and more, without having to exit a messenger app to visit Safari or Chrome.
Predictive search, as well as contacts search are also on the feature list, which is nice.
As you can see, if you are using iMessage you can quickly search for information and embed that data directly in your message back to your friend.
Gboard also supports Swype-style input, which Google refers to as “Glide Typing”, allowing you to slide your finger across the keyboard rather than typing individual letters.
Gboard is a new keyboard from Google for your iPhone. Just tap the search icon, look up the name of the business, and you can share the Google search card with an address, user reviews, and other details with a tap. When you find an image, place, link, even a GIF that you want to type, one tap pastes it.

Gboard is free and available now in the App Store. You can then select the search results and send it across in whichever app you are in. Google says support for additional languages will follow.
