A few days ago Samsung removed the local search functionality from the smartphone's search widget with an update. An Apple patent violation was supposedly the reason behind the downgrade.
Yesterday though Samsung said the local search removal in the international Galaxy S III was "inadvertent" and promised to bring it back in a few days.
Well, the updates are already rolling out and if you got your local search removed, it should be restored any moment now.
Thank you, Daium, for the tip!
