But to the very left of those suggestions is a small Google logo that, when tapped, opens a search bar that can be used information on practically anything. Results can then be copied and pasted into the text box. Gboard can also search for images and GIFs, and there is a quick emoji search bar for finding the more obscure pictorials out there. Gboard is available now from the App Store....
