Just as it was announced that HONOR phones would get Circle to Search, the feature has received somewhat of a downgrade. Circle to Search has now lost one of its shortcuts.

Previously, when you activated Circle to Search, there would be a field at the bottom of the screen that you could tap to type perform a text query. On the right side of the field was the “G” logo that opens up the Google app. To the right of the G logo was a microphone icon for voice search and an icon for Google Lens. Finally, there was a button with a music note for song search and a second button for translations.
