You're on the computer reading about all these amazing features that comes with the Jelly Bean update. Then you go to your phone, you swipe up from the bottom to start Google Now and then you say "Google"... and nothing happens. "Google"... "Goo-gle"... nothing.
Apparently, the ability to trigger a search or action by saying "Google" is called hotword detection. To turn it off or on, start from the Google Now screen and touch Menu > Settings > Voice > Hotword detection.
If hotword detection is already on, the problem then is that English (Aus) is selected.. because Google apparently doesn't respond to Aussie. When you are in Google Now, scroll all the way to the bottom where you will find the three dots on the bottom right corner. Press Settings, Voice, then change the Language to English, US.
In Google Now, when you swipe up from the bottom of your phone, you should be able to search for things by first saying Google, presumably now in a US accent.
