The microphone icon, which is found in the search bar on the Pixel Launcher home screen, has now been re-mapped.
The change was announced earlier this month alongside the removal of 17 features in Google Assistant.
The microphone button was previously a Google Assistant shortcut. Now, it will respond to questions with Google Search results.

Huh, my mind has completely blocked off that part of the launcher screen. Do people use that Google bar stuff?
