Never fear, a fix is supposedly near. Samsung confirmed today that the recent "stability update"on the Galaxy S3 that rendered the on-device search function useless was going to be repaired immediately, according to the BBC.
"The most recent software upgrade for the Galaxy S3 in the UK included the inadvertent removal of the universal search function," the company said in a statement, according to the BBC. "Samsung will provide the correct software upgrade within the next few days."
Reports of the bunk update surfaced earlier this month when S3 owners found out that they couldn't use the local search function for the Web, contacts, apps, and other information. They were given no warning that this would happen when they downloaded the software, according to the BBC. The "stability update" reportedly only affected international versions of the phone.
