"Google Pixel Launcher Reintroduces Quick App Launch Feature"

Google is bringing back the "Quick Launch" feature to the Pixel Launcher search bar, allowing users to type the name of an app and hit enter to open it. This feature was previously removed when Google combined the search bars. The feature has been spotted on a Pixel 7 running Android 13 QPR2, but it has yet to hit other devices. The Pixel June Quarterly Feature Drop is expected to be released on June 5th, and users can decide to join the Android 14 Beta program, which will require a data wipe to leave until the final, stable version is released in August.
