Local search returning to international Galaxy S III
The Local, or universal Search feature found in the Galaxy S III has been the subject of legal attack by Apple in the U.S., as the company from Cupertino has accused Samsung of infringing on one of its patents with it. Because of this, Samsung had to issue a Galaxy S III software update recently, which had to remove the functionality from the U.S. versions of the smartphone.
The thing is, the update also brought a number of system stability tweaks with it, and so it was also rolled out to the international version of the GS III. The problem is that obviously no one bothered to get rid of the "remove local search feature" effect of the update, so international users quickly found out that their devices too lack the function after the update.
Apparently, Samsung has now acknowledged the mistake and has promised that a fix that will restore the functionality will be coming in the following days. Here's the official statement from a Samsung spokesperson:
It seems everything will soon be back to normal in Samsung town.
