Google in its blog post announced that;

The way we search is also evolving beyond just typing into a search box. People are finding what they need in more natural ways, like humming a song, snapping a picture with Lens or by asking Assistant, “Hey Google” when they want to learn more. People most commonly used Lens, for example, to translate an image and shop a look. “Price,” “vintage” and “near me” were among the top text searches in multisearch along with “what is this” or “how to fix.” Lens also helped people better explore the world around them — by identifying what they saw. In fact, the top searched animals on Lens this year were the domestic short-haired cat, tabby cat and polydactyl cat. And around the world, Assistant was helping people make things a little bit easier for everyday life. From setting 7am alarm clocks — the most popular alarm time people asked to set — to making you laugh with “tell me a joke” being a top ask followed by “one more.”
