Unless the text is changed, Huawei's new phones may not include Google's previously installed apps or apps. That is, with the exception of Google Play, Maps, Chrome and again without Google, the search app. Faced with this situation, the company has had to develop other GMS alternatives, including its maps and prepares it another use of the Google app: Huawei Search.
Huawei Search is about the test, where aspiring volunteers, but the inspiration is clear: replace the Google app with the same design and functionality, but in the house. We were able to test it out and told what its current state is.

Huawei is in full race against the clock to create alternatives for Google. One of these applications is probably the most important one: the search engine. The Google app binds many company resources, which provide everything with Internet searches to find content and connections in Google Assistant. Huawei is cooking the same thing, with the provisional name of Huawei Search, or Huawei search.
Currently a simple application with three tabs: Find, Search and Me. The Google app has a few tabs (Notifications, Collections, More), though the relationship is obvious. Getting basic is like Find out from Google, showing "interesting" articles.
How could it be otherwise, The app has its own widget, and with a Google-like design. It is currently a circular bar with the word "Search" and which shows the app icon.
The search is done explicitly using Google, but the search engine must be limited. Search includes web and device results, where you can search apps, contacts, messages, calendar, notes, emails, settings or songs. In the settings you can choose which local objects you want to appear in search and which do not work.
Like the Google app, it's included weather forecast, and more web searches, as well as photos. This image search, by the way, is very similar to that of Google.
Application a little green right now and, in fact, Huawei looks like it has disconnected the server – responsible for returning search results and documents – after the app was "misused on social media." As for the options, they don't have many either: you can choose a region and a language, choose if you want to activate safe searches and what local objects are displayed.
At the moment it is not possible to know whether Huawei Search – or how it ends up being called official – will go ahead and reach Huawei phones or if all will be in trial. In the meantime, what is clear is that the company continues to fill in the blanks left by Google's unemployment.
