Samsung has confirmed to TechRadar that yesterday’s universal search removal from the Galaxy S III was unintentional. We first thought that software version XXBLG6 intentionally removed the universal search in order to keep Apple’s lawyers happy. This has now been confirmed to be a software error, and unintentional.

A Samsung representative told TechRadar the following:

The most recent software upgrade for the Galaxy S III in the UK included the inadvertent removal of the universal search function. Samsung will provide the correct software upgrade within the next few days.
