Does anyone notice this or it is just me?
When your search from the search bar or voice search, the web results pop up, but actually clicking at the titles or the links won't direct you to the browser until you hit a little bit lower, at the brief description area. MORE SERIOUSLY, is that, when you filter the results by choosing more->shopping, or video, or whatever, the results are not clickable for me. No new tabs will show up.
Could anyone please try the following, type or speak "wallet", go to shopping results, tap on any one of the image item. Anything happens?
Thank you so much

worked here first time. I am currently viewing a quite attractive Oakely Square O Perf Wallet after it linking through Chrome. But, it's $50 and I am in the UK!
PS I spoke 'wallet' using Google Now
Meaning that mine is screwed. But does it have anything to do with the OTA update in US, causing some unknown search issue?
Any more people to try this out? Especially who is in US
Thank you!
Worked for me.

I seemed to find something. So have you turned on the Now service? not the voice search feature, but the privacy-controversial service.
Seems like if never enrolled in Now, your search is working fine.

It's working for me as well but it opens up 2 identical webpages in chrome.

That is also what happens to me, either opening two tabs or no tab at all. Drives me crazy. I hope people join me to report this to Google. It is definitely not me alone.
I'm having a far worse issue. I cannot open search results in any way on my Nexus 7. I've seen posts like this were you open 2 tabs in Chrome. I can't open anything!! Even clicking the description of the link doesn't work.
Similar issue here...
I have noticed pretty much the same issue on my Nexus 7. Sometimes clicking just below the title of the search result works. Sometimes clicking on the actual title works. Sometimes NOTHING is clickable. Very frustrating - especially when trying to show someone how cool Google Now is!!! My Nexus 7 is totally stock too..
Hopefully they will have a fix for this soon!

Well, this problem has gone from sporadic to consistent for me. Whenever I use the Google Now Widget to search for something and results are returned, I can't click on the results at all. I called Google Support and we tried clearing the cache and data the Google Search and Chrome apps and then did a Factory Data Reset. Nothing has been able to fix this for me. It totally seems like a software bug since generally everything else seems to function alright. Given this, I'm really surprised the Factory Data Reset didn't fix it for me.
Since I bought the Nexus 7 at Staples and I'm outside of the 14 day return policy (by just 1 darn day!!!), they said that they can't even exchange it for me. So now, I have to send it into Asus to have it "repaired".
Is anyone else having this issue?
For the record, I'm never buying anything electronic or of any significant value from Staples again!

I recently stumbled across this bug as well and chalked it up to being software related too. But whereas some people seem to have sporadic results, I can NEVER click my Google Now search results. I'm quite baffled that a factory reset didn't work and was actually about to do it myself, but if there's no guarantee that it'll solve the problem then it wouldn't be worth it. Honestly, I wouldn't send it to Asus to get it repaired because the issue might simply pop up again. I'm wondering if only a small minority is experiencing this problem though or if people just don't realize it yet (as I haven't really used much of Google Now). In any case, I hope this issue gets resolved soon.
EDIT: This must definitely be a software bug because I might have found a way to possibly resolve the issue. I activated Google Now, hit the menu button on the bottom right, went to "settings" then "privacy and accounts." Here, there should be an option for "Search on google.com." Mine was initially unchecked, but I simply checked the option again. Doing this, Google Now seems to now allow me to touch/click results. I should add that when I went back and unchecked the option, the issue did not return. So, regardless of what the option is set at for you guys, I would simply check or uncheck and try it seeing if that resolves the issue. I hope this works for others!

I'm experiencing the same problems (can't click on standard web search results in Google Now, but can in Chrome). The above fix doesn't work for me (I don't have that showing up in my privacy settings on my Google Account, but then again I don't even have "search plus your world" available in my apps account yet).
Here's an interesting twist though: If I perform the following search in Google Now:
xda nexus 7 google now can't click on results​
I can't click the results. However the first result will include "More results from forum.xda-developers.com". If I click that link, it's not only clickable, but the results on the next page are all clickable.
Again, I'm on a Google Apps account, fwiw.
---------- Post added at 11:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 PM ----------
One other interesting point: navigating through the Google Now results using an external keyboard (just cursoring up and down), I can select and enter any result without problems.
I think I may have figured out how to get search results clickable again...
1) Go into Settings->Privacy and accounts
2) Uncheck "Show recent searches"
3) Back out to the home screen
4) Try your search again and you should be able to click on the search results
This seems to do the trick for me. Give it a try and let us know if it works for you guys.

Fix Does not work for me
Still can't click on results.
I'm wondering if it has something to do with having a second browser (Dophin) installed.
Maybe tablet does not know which to use?
When clicking on OTHER links tablet asks whether to complete the action with Chrome or Dolphin. Obviously when pressing on a Google now result that question does not pop up and the results are not clickable.
Maybe I will uninstall Dolphin and see if that helps
Thank you for the fix

It works but I was confused by your directions. From settings, go to Accounts Google, then Search, which then takes you to Privacy & Accounts.
This was very frustrating problem. I called Google Nexus Tech Support and talk about a useless rep. I can't believe others aren't complaining about the same problem.

If you lost the ability to see the mobile pages then you need to install the latest MT addition from Cyanogen. There was an issue with the first MT add on he put out and fixed it in the second one.
I recommend going back and re applying the MT add on and you should be able to see mobile pages again.
You can also D/L Google Maps 4.0 with built in Buzz support. Just go to the market, click on the downloads tab, and the update should be waiting for you!
Anyone knows why I don't have the update promted yet? Is it US only? (I'm oversea).
Also, if I go to buzz website on my N1, I can see the interface, but if I post a Buzz.. it keep spinning a small wheel in front of it, and it never completes (nor posts my Buzz)
Any ideea?
I got the same issue. Maybe it is because our gmail hasn't been updated with Buzz yet.
update google maps in the market
Anyone else find it subliminally retarded that Google puts the Nexus one behind the Iphone on its Buzz page ?
heh yeah, I noticed that myself...
However, here: http://www.google.com/intl/en/mobile/buzz/ there is an iPhone surrounded by 2 N1's.
Go figure.
I understand google though - people with androids will probably get buzz anyway in some future update (won't be surprised if it will be come a builtin app/link like google goggles) - but the real challenge is for them to get iPhone users to use it, pushing them more towards the google cloud.

click get buzz on you phone. you will be happy too see it has a nexus one first then a iphone, followed by another N1. if that helps you a bit lol
I'm quite liking buzz. It's so easy for me to see what people in my area are saying and I can just strike up a conversation with them.
Initially I thought 'How will they get people to leave Twitter to do this' then you realise pretty much everyone is already registered (I'm following people already who have never heard of Buzz!) it's just if they choose to use it.

I had those issues too - read that it might have to do with the accepting terms thing not registered properly so I wiped my Browser cache and rebooted.
Seems to still do it but then later I'll see it was posted. Also seems to do it straight after a reboot, but then become sluggish. Still glitchy I guess
Dayz
Edit - Just updated maps and the Buzz Layer thing seems to work better than the one via mobile google. What will be useful I think once it takes off, is that you can pop over to a place and look for any buzz about traffic or weather problems that people might post from a location.

Thanks. Reflashing the mt addon allowed me to see mobile pages again. Buzz works fine now.
I've updated my Maps application to version 4 via Market, but I am not seeing the Buzz layer in Maps.
I wonder is it because this is being rolled out on a country by country basis?
The buzz layer is not enabled by default, you need to press the options, and then choose layers->buzz.
The easiest way to check if your gmap version is correct is to go to options->about - it should be 4.0.0 (#4046).

Thanks. My Maps is of the version you have listed. However when I go to Layers, I do not see the Buzz layer available for selection. Maybe, like Navigation, this Buzz layer will be turned on for other countries bit by bit?

Weird problem here. Since the update OTA, whenever I press the address part of a contact in People it opens the address in the HTC Locations app. Before it used to open it in Google Maps. Ideas?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I have this also. Can't find out how to switch the thing back either. Kind of annoying really because I just don't seem to click with the locations app.
ability to pick between Locations and Google Maps would be great. I am having the opposite problems with addresses in my Calendar opening in Google Maps instead of the HTC Navigation.
My suspicion is that HTC are attempting to put their app (which has potential to make them money via licenses) front and centre.
Sure, you can still use Google Maps but don't expect it to be integrated with Sense!

Yep. Address opens Locations. Don't know if it used to open GMaps, though, because I never use that feature (usualy I know how to get to the people in my address book ).
try going to the locations app and checking if there are any default settings set.
You can't change it.

Just checked and mine does the same. It used to open in Google maps. As you say, HTC are probably just pushing their own SW.
It would be be nice to be able to choose which mapping SW opened BUT it'd be even nicer if you could just *view* the full postal address in a window if it's too long for the one line in the People app! (There's another thread on this somewhere). When it opened Google maps you could touch the 'flag' and it would then open a text window with the address but I haven't found a way to do this with Locations yet .......
Why is such a simple thing not included, even as an option????? As someone here said, we usually know how to get to people in our *contacts*. Mapping is to find unknown addresses!!!!!
I feel a *request* to HTC coming on.....

Sygic Aura doesn't work on 1.72 either. Just keeps erroring out. Same software works fine on 1.32 and on Cyanogenmod. Not sure if its a coincidence but its a very strange one.
Ok found the problem.
Go to:
Settings
Locations
Check "Integrate google navigation with locations"
Then everything will be back to normal.

which Aura do u mean? I have tried 2.1 and it works perfectly... to be honest - not so perfectly while it crashed 2 times while browsing the maps and switching views (not normal driving usage); however it starts and goes well. Maybe u have to update the soft - there was an actualization a few weeks ago.
HTC replied:
Dear Dean *******,
Thank you for your email today.
I would advise on deleting the OTA update you received, to restore the firmware version back to the previous version. This then should allow you to access contacts from the previous settings.
If this does not work, you can always call our support centre on +44-845-890-0079, we are open Mon-Fri 9am-6pm, and Saturdays 9am-1pm.
Any further problems, don't hesitate to contact us again,.

They have got to be kidding, right?

Dear Dean XXXXXXX,
I confirm that it does not integrate with google map application after the recent over the air update. I trust that this resolves your query, please do not hesitate to contact us again if required.

Any update for this problem ?
As the title states I have been having problems with Google now since the update to 4.1.2. I'm am running unrooted life stock Jelly Bean and the issue I am having seems to be Google now hanging up while attempting to answer a question. The questions that start with a "Who is" seems to cause it the most trouble. Once I ask the question it will ding to show it accepted the question but then it will just spin looking for an answers without ever answering the question. This issue could also likely be attributed to the October 29 voice search update Google pushed through the place store.
I never had this issue until I upgraded, so I am asking the community of experts here.
Have you encountered this issue?
If you have how did you fix it?
Than you guys for reading and sorry for the post length.

Hey, I'm having the same problem - I have also tried reverting the app back, reinstalling the update, factory wipe of the nexus 7 and wiped cache etc. No luck here I HAVE found that if you ask (by voice) something like "how tall was Napoleon Bonaparte" it works perfectly and very quickly. Also, while web search does not work 99 percent of the time (I find it does after a reboot for one go then stops working) image search through Google search works perfectly.
This only happens with Google search, not chrome.
Let me know if you find a solution.

Image searches do produce results though...odd.

EDIT2: Ok I rebooted device after checking and UNCHECKING the option, and it works TOTALLY now. I am a happy camper ^_^
Thanks guys for all the responses, I am glad I am not alone in this. It seems like it's getting better but the voice search is still not performing the way it used to. If I try to search for info on say Micheal Jordan, it doesnt read back his information like it used to. I don't get the card anymore either I just get the google search. I hope they find a fix for this soon.
When I go into Google now on my nex7 everything works fine except for the Google search web results. It brings up cards and has voice response but brings up no web results. I wiped everything did a reset and flashed a different ROM and still having the same problem. Everything else on my tablet works fine. I'm beggining to think it may be a Google server problem in my area. Is anyone else having this problem?

Likely they are on a different server. This is likely them working on the updates to google search that is to come with 4.2. It takes two steps back to get one large step foreword ...

Really? I thought it's been a good roll-out for 4.1.2 JB.
Just this hickup & the usual lack of detailed usage training for end-users (which we actually embrace now as XDA-ers!)
Surprise, surprise. I'm having that issue also. Search on my N7 is giving me factual voice responses to a search like '50 milliliters in ounces', but if I say '2010 World Series' expecting to get webpage responses, I get the spinning circle. My Bionic returns webpages for these searches. I'm sure they'll get it sorted out, but kind of annoying at the moment.
Same with me. Changing from google.de to google.com did not work.
Disconnecting Wlan and connecting again and I can search once ...
I thought it was my fault
ok, well at least I know I'm not the only one. Hope they get it worked out soon.

I just got home from work and Google search and Google now seem to be working fine now. Just did about 20 random voice searches in a row and had no hang ups what so ever. I didn't change anything on my tablet or in settings so obviously a problem with Google that is worked out for now.

So i use "ok google" a lot and have on all of my phones. But i constantly am having issues with my Nexus 6p, it will simply not work and when i press the mic button on the google search widget it tells me "cannot access microphone" a reboot fixes it or simply waiting a little bit then it will work again. It's anyone else having this problem??
Haven't seen this one personally. That sucks sorry.
I had that problem when I had cortana. It had taken priority. Prior phone though.

Unless you specify what is installed on the phone, what ROM, etc.
It's difficult to help.
I would start disabling the apps I installed prior to this happening.

Yea sorry, stock no special add ons and minimal app, facebook, instagram, ect very simple i have other phones and tablets to play i keep this guy stock for now
i have this problem too occasionally. a reboot fixes.
as someone else already mentioned, i suspect some other program is taking over the mic but i haven't figured out which one yet.
what's weird is that only okay google and the home screen search bar mic is busted when this happens. i can still use the mic to search in chrome and to do anything else (like write a text or whatever).
anyway, keeping an eye on this thread in case anyone figures out what the guilty app is.
May try going to app settings for the Google app (press and hold on it in the app drawer and drag it to app info is the fastest way)
And then go to permissions. Mic should be on. If it's not turn it on. If it is on, try turning it off then back on?

Do any of you have Smart Lock with Trusted Voice enabled?
Same Issue
I also have this issue. My phone is non rooted. Only broken through the search widget. I was using nova launcher. Now using google launcher to see if that cures the issue. So far so good. Will now download my common used apps and see if anything breaks it. I really hope it was'nt Nova. I'll cry. I did speak to Google and they will replace the phone under warranty but I am going to test first anyways. I won't be returning my phone to google anytime soon as they want to pre authorize another charge on my credit card to ship me the device well behold I don't have enough available credit for a pre auth. Said they have no other options. So if your phone is under warranty and needs to be replaced make sure you have a good credit limit. I even offered to send them my phone before they sent me the new one but they said I cannot do that. So upset with google right now and their returns.
I had the same issue as OP, as recent as this past weekend. I was stock/normal rooted, no special launcher, no cortana. Microphone worked fine for speakerphone, but i could not use voice search on Google now on my phone, my moto watch, or android auto in my car. Weird how one issue spans three devices.
google searches yielded nothing. i deleted tons of apps and nothing. i went ahead and just flashed the whole stock rom, and it works normal now.
Check the permissions settings.
I am having the same problem as the OP. Glad to know I'm not alone.

Reading the thread, had anyone solved this problem? I took the advice on checking the permission settings and found that all permissions are allowed except for storage and camera (or was it contacts? I don't remember exactly, both of them are lcoated closely). Anyhow, I decided to just allow all permissions, walla it seemed to have solved the problem, I pressed my finger on the microphone at the back of the phone and said "ok google" and it responded. Can anyone else try to see if this works?
This new permission structure has its fair share of problems, I have plenty apps crashing because of only partial permission allowed, Skype being one of them
