3rd party replacement for Google Now?

[CrimsonToker]

So without going into it, I have recurring issues with Google services and play store, for the time being I'm getting rid of all my gapps. So is there any other search bar app? I'm currently trying out Amazon app store, but of course I can also side load. Thanks in advance for any help!

Add a Google fan, I haven't tried it, but maybe this would work
Quick search widget

MALUUBA is another alternative to GOOGLE SEARCH/NOW:

As you mentioned,side-loading the ANDROID version of their app is an alternative*,a search should bring up a site that you trust................

*Latest/current version as of this posting is 1.6.3

Lol it's funny that you guys are linking to Google play store. Which I can't access. Got the Amazon app market and I'm impressed with it so far. Already a loyal Amazon customer, it only makes sense

Oh the irony, recommending Google alternatives with Google.

LOL
I guess I'm just incapable of comprehending Android without Google

Here is an AppBrain link.

I'm not 100% comfortable with AppBrain or Amazon for that matter, but that's a personal thing.

That was just for information purposes only, & a chance to read what others thought about the app in the ratings section.
Believe me,the irony wasn't lost one bit................

I read about a good one but can't remember the name, is it Alexa or Alexia or something?
