Sprint has confirmed that Samsung will remove the universal search function from its latest Galaxy S III device.
The removal will come via the next software update for the device.
Says the carrier: "The new software update does disable the universal search function on Galaxy S III."
Universal search is the ability to use the Google search bar to search for locally-installed apps, contacts, texts along with regular Internet searches.
The Galaxy Nexus will also have the feature removed, thanks to the ongoing Apple, Samsung lawsuit that has stretched across the planet over a range of patents. Both companies are seeking injunctions on the other's products.
