[Request] add assistant intent to launch search

Open jm355 opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Firefox on android (or at least mull browser, based on firefox) can be set as the device assistant. When you launch the assistant, it opens firefox to a new tab with the keyboard pulled up ready to search. This is a really handy feature, especially for google-free phones.

Vanadium already has the search widget, all the assistant intent would need to do is launch the same routine as the widget.

Future improvements could include an option to select whether the assistant intent would launch the standard search, voice search, incognito search, or the dinosaur

I've only recently switched to GrapheneOS and I'm still trying to get used to the handling. But having used Firefox Focus before I really miss this feature (opening my browser with a simple gesture).
