I got the ICS update on my Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus and now Google Search does not return results from the local device and Searchable Items is no longer an option in the Google Search settings menu. So now I can't search for contacts, music, apps etc except by going to those individual apps. This is highly annoying. I've read I can root and sideload Google Now but voice search isn't working on it yet.
I know this is specifically a Samsung thing as my HOS still has it as do all my other android devices. The Google Search app in the Play store still allows local device searching but I can't download it (incompatible device?!?!)
Are there any third party apps that can get this functionality back?
Are any work arounds available?
Just wait a little

I think they are updating most of the apps for the latest ICS firmware, a few days ago Ebooks app was disabled and this morning I got an update from Play Store (previously it was saying that was not compatible in my country) and TA-DA!, it's working now.
I recommend you to wait a little, maybe a few days....
If you can get the apk, you could side load it, most apps work with our devices even if the play store won't let you download it. You may even be able to get it from the Amazon app store

Don't know if anyone has noticed but the play store has been updated, not the app but the website version.
The reason i mention it is because if you go to the play store and click the "My Android Apps" tab it shows you all the apps you have installed and used to have installed(Which is nothing new), but the feature i have noticed which may come in handy for many is you can now update your apps from this tab when there is an update available, the reason this would come in handy for me is like many ppl i have modified my DPI and as most know doing so make some apps incompatible for your phone and unable to update from the play store app.
Well not any more as you can now update them from the play store even those ones that show up in your app store as not being compatible but you already have them installed.
Sorry if this is been covered before or is old news i done a quick search and had a quick look but never found anything..
Has anyone gotten the play store to auto-update to the new 4.0.x version? I know I could side-load it, but I was hoping for it to just auto-update to avoid hassles.
I've tried various combinations of clearing the play store and google services data, uninstalling their updates, and rebooting, and it re-updates them to the prior 3.x versions.
Is this just me? Anyone have suggestions on how to get this to update properly?

Mine is 4.0.26. I suggest try to clear data Google play store and Google Play services, uninstall updates, then reboot, this Google Play services should update and so is play store...hopefully.

Well, I'd tried that before, with no luck. Maybe something snuck in before I restarted and it updated to the old version? Who knows.
This time, based on some other searching I'd done, I tried also clearing the data for Google Services Framework, and being sure to reboot as fast as I could after doing all that.
I also went in and looked at the app versions after restarting but before launching the play store, and it had quickly re-updated the Google Play Services app to I think the newest version (3.0.27, matches my Droid 4 that has the new play store). After launching the play store, it updated that, but only to 3.10.14 (I think it was 3.10.9 before), not 4.0.x.
So, still no luck

I assumed that you're on the latest rom (JB 4.2.1) and latest bootloader? download and side load play store from here:

Hello, is there a way in which I can "really" say no to updates in Google Play Store? In fact, I have an app (Poweramp) that I wish to use it in a specific version without updating it regularly. Therefore, I decide to detach it from Play Store in Titanium Backup. However, when I go to Play Store, when I search Poweramp, I can still see that there is an option in which I can update it. So, I can not see that how the detach from Play Store (market) option made the change. Am I doing anything wrong or does it have an alternative way to do it? Thanks. Mmm.. I should update my Titanium Backup app since it has been a while that I am using it and way before the Play Store 4.0 was launched...
You can turn auto-update off, so you can choose which apps to update
