Search Sources

[GolpherZX]

I need a little help. I'm coming back to Android after 20 months on IOS. One feature that I know I had was that I could change the settings on Google Search so that when I searched for an app name, say "FaceBook", that I would be able to launch Facebook from the Search Bar rather than having to find the app itself. I went to the local VZW store and their demo unit had inside of settings "Search Sources". I don't have this setting. Can someone tell me how to enable this? Thanks,

If you have the latest update (IMM76D.I545VRALG7) the local search feature has been taken away due to Litigation by Apple.

How do you un install that update? I was pretty much forced to do so.

You cannot. If you root you can load the "Google" apk back. I believe there are some apps in the play store that have the same fx; just do a search here on the forums for some recommendations.
