The results come instantly without you having to press any buttons. If you tap on the result, it leads you to reviews of the products, check the availability and price comparison.
The new version of Goggles recognizes print ads that appear in newspapers and magazines and throw up web search results about the product/brand. This is applicable to ads appearing since August 2010 onwards in U.S.
