If you use the Google Android App called as an Android keyboard Gboard, you will surely have noticed the Google button (G) positioned in a bar above the keyboard itself.
Through the G button on the Gboard you can search with the Google search engine directly from the keyboard and share the result with the App on which you are typing with the keyboard.

By pressing on this arrow it is possible to view the items as they were previously listed, among these there is the icon with the magnifying glass which activates the quick Google search just as the G icon did.
Even though the G icon is deactivated, it is still not possible to delete the occupied row above the Android keyboard, this unfortunately causes the keyboard to take up more space on the screen.
For those who want an Android keyboard that takes up less space, the only solution at the moment is to use an alternative Android App as a keyboard.
