    Hi Portlandrob,

    Thanks for your response!

    We appreciate you for providing more details about your issue with the Search With Google Now app on your Roku.

    When you open the application, you will be prompted to either type or speak what you are looking for. To proceed, simply press the OK button on your Roku remote. If you encounter any issues navigating the results of your search, we strongly recommend contacting Google Search support directly. They maintain and develop their apps on the Roku streaming platform, and we do not have access to the program.

    You may reach them here: Google Support | Contact us

    Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

    Cheers,

Do you have a curser? If so, how did you enable?

I could not get a cursor to come up. I could go down the page, but not highlight or click on anything. There was a menu on the right of the page, and I clicked on log in, but once the log in screen came up, I couldn't navigate to the username or password spaces to log in. There was a forward arrow up by the address bar that I could toggle to but it didn't do anything. Do you know how to enable a cursor?

    Hi QueenLinLin,

    Thanks for posting in the Roku Community!

    We understand that you are having trouble logging in to your Google account on the Google Search app because the cursor is not available. We're here to assist you with this.

    Could you please take a clear photo of the TV screen showing the Google Search app you installed on your Roku? We would also appreciate it if you could capture a screenshot of the Google Search app displaying the login screen. This will help us better understand the situation.

    How do I insert an image in a post?

    We hope this will be sorted out soon.

    Cheers,
    Riamie

        I included the Google search logo first (the one I purchased for $4.99) and the resulting page that boots up fine, but then I can't click on or do anything but slowly move up and down. Never opens, or anything else.
