    There is a thread on XDA that has the Google Now search and cards working on ICS. You need root.

    I had tried this on my One X before but you needed an AOSP rom for it to work. It now works on Sense Roms as well.

    I have installed it and the associated voice search app and it all works great. Anyone else using it? How do you find it?

    Installed on my S3, will see how it goes.

    A widget would be nice!

    It should add a Google search widget. I tried this, wasn't all that impressed

    yeah it uses the google search widget. I'm using Nova launcher and i have the "Persistent Search Bar" option ticked. this keeps the google search bar on top of each home screen. That now becomes Google Now search.

    Already this morning since installing i have got a Card about driving directions home even though i was only walking as far as the canteen. Could be too clever for its own good.

    haha :P
    to be honest it sounds pretty awesome for what it does though. really intuitive. looking forward to playing with it when the s3 gets updated to 4.1
