Either they dont know or they dont care

I use this app constantly because the design of the search Interface, which includes voice, is exactly how search should work. However, there have been really annoying bugs in this application that of been there for as long as I can remember. For one, if you start typing in the search box before the app is completely loaded, the first letter of what you typed is always cut off. Always. Second, the app sometimes has trouble getting a hold of the mic, but will "ding" like its read for input when its not. The result is your first words dont make it into the search. Finally, if youre using a Bluetooth connection to a speaker and mic, like inside your car, there are invariably will be a long delay before everything is ready to hear your command. However, the app gives audio feedback before your car system is ready to take sound input so often youll never hear the "ready" ding.

Also, its frustrating that video results that play from YouTube dont give an option to view the video in YouTube so you cant access YouTube functions. There is no setting to change this behavior, so any time you find a video in google, youre stuck there. Best you can do is try to copy the URL and manual paste in YouTube, which makes me feel like a cave man. There should just be a button to open the video in YouTube. Hard to believe that doesnt exist.
