I just upgraded my Nexus S from Android 4.0.something (I forget the subversion) to Android 4.1.1.
The magnifying glass button used to be really useful -- it would trigger a search function within whatever app I was using. For example pressing it within the Maps app would search for a place, or pressing it within the Facebook app would search for a friend.
But now, the magnifying glass button launches a google search no matter what the context is! This is extremely annoying and makes a lot of apps harder to use, especially Maps.
How can I use a setting or a patch to revert the magnifying glass button to its old behavior?
