Due to having to reset my phone I now have the new Google Maps. I no longer see the option to save a search to my contacts. Is there a work around for this, or am I just missing something?

did you update the google maps app??? a reset will wipe updates.
 
no. prior to the reset i was on the older version which worked fine. Now I have the "new' version where the little blue arrow icon is gone. It works except for the lack of the abilty to add a search result to contacts.
 
Ya, I don't understand why they removed this option in the new "updated" version. I uninstalled the current google maps (Not sure if you can do this without root) and I downloaded and installed the old google maps from here. Download Maps 6.14.2.apk Android app be sure to turn off the option to automatically update apps.
