If there are any specific searches or commands that you use in Siri on a regular basis, you can save those searches as widgets and add them to the Today view. Not all searches can be pinned to the Today view. We'll see how to convert Siri search results to widgets with a single click.
- [Narrator] You can combine Siri…and the Notifications Center together…to save information or search results.…Let's start by asking a few questions…using voice commands in Siri.…So something I may do a lot is search for files…that are relevant to a project that I'm working on.…So I could click on the Siri button and do a search.…(chimes)…Find files with the word California.…(chimes)…- [Siri] Here are all of the files with California.…
- [Narrator] Or, my favorite place to visit is Venice, Italy…so I might ask this:…(chimes)…How is the weather in Venice, Italy?…(chimes)…- [Siri] Okay, here's the weather…for Venice, Italy for today.…- [Narrator] So these are two very different types…of searches, but they'll both work.…As I scroll through the commands that we just saw,…each is represented by a separate bubble.…If you've seen the Notifications Center in macOS Sierra,…then these bubbles might look really familiar.…
They look similar to the widgets in the Today view…in the Notifications Center.…And there's a reason for that.…
