there's no point in dragging a desktop around just to do a search.

It's clumsy and it's slow.

What is the problem?

I am currently on a trip with my iPhone 8+ and iPad Pro (with Smart
Keyboard and Apple Pencil) as my only computing devices, and I am unaware
of this "clumsy and slow" stuff you are talking about.

My iPad Pro is far from "slow", it is actually pretty snappy, and as far as
"clumsy" goes, it has yet to trip over anything, or drop anything.

Using a keyboard with my iPad would deal with half my criticism but,
whether you like it or not, the fact that you have bought a keyboard
shows that you share at least some of my sentiments.

i doubt he bought a keyboard just to do searches.

Another major part of my complaint is the Google app for iPad. That
and the fact that it doesn't take many advertisements to unacceptably
clutter the small screen. And when you uninvertedly trigger an
advertisement into life by brushing it with a passing finger ... .

then don't use it.

use a browser, and if you don't like ads, install a content filter to
block them or user a browser that does that natively.

don't blame the ipad for your own mistakes.

Having a keyboard is nice. However, I have no complains when using the
screen keyboard in either or split mode.

Another major part of my complaint is the Google app for iPad. That
and the fact that it doesn't take many advertisements to unacceptably

That sounds like a Google issue rather than an iPad issue. As for your
'passing finger', I learned a long time ago that trigger control was
something worth developing.

The keyboard didn't do me any good handling those typos and omissions ;-)

....I have no COMPLAINTS, and ...in either STANDARD, or split mode.

Keyboard? What's that for? Use voice recognition - it actually works
very well these days. That's what makes the phone much faster for me
(I dont' have a mic on the PC).

That is the clumsy part of using an iPad in my case. I have mini, and
enter far too many wrong letters touching the screen compared to using
a keypad. Worse, though, on a mobile phone.

there's no need to type very many letters for searches nor do they even
have to be correct. let the computer do the work for you.

you should also learn how to type better for when there is a need:

Easier than I thought. I've been using my laptop, and it dawned on me
that it must have a mic. It does, and it works okay.

nonsense. it's as fast or faster than a laptop or desktop.

I can't answer for the hardware you use.

the hardware is irrelevant. displaying search results is not cpu
intensive.

But maybe you only do simple
searches.

the complexity or simplicity of a search is also irrelevant.

Yep. You only ask simple questions.
