Now on Tap is a handy search tool buried in the Google Settings menu. Once enabled it provides information about what's on the screen at a given moment. Just press and hold the Home key to see more information.
For instance, if someone texts you the name of a restaurant, a long-press will reveal the location on a map and other useful info like opening hours, menus, photos etc.
