What happened to the search button? - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

I no longer see "Search This Forum" or "Search This Thread" buttons anymore. Without a working search function, the forums will get messy real quick.
EDIT: Didn't realize that it was affecting the entire forums... Found an existing thread in the xda-developers.com forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1732296. Sorry about that, but searching for something without a search feature is hard.

Cant Search

I can't search this forum from my phone. When I click on the search button it will open up but when I attempt to click on the opened button it will disappear.
Normally I would attempt to search for this problem to see if has been an issue before but...
Any ideas? I can search on other forums but most of those guys discuss composite bats and curveballs.

[Q] Does Google Voice search - if so how

Has anyone gotten google voice search to work. I know that it easy to type in a search request, it's just more to try it out since it is a option. I have tried several apps for voice and I nothing I do seems to make it work. As always, thanks for the help.
Hello and welcome to the NT forum, i just made a search here in General section and look what i found:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458356&highlight=google+voice+search
Please next time try to do a research first! if you don't find it then post your question here.
I know the XDA search is not the best tool of its kind but by googling "what i want to find, XDA" should be enough.

I did perform a search using the search this forum feature and did not see a result that I thought answered my question. Maybe I didn't use good enough key words, I thought I used google voice as the key words. I have seen to many replies saying what you said not to do this first. But thank you for finding what I seem not to be good enough to find.
just copy Google VoiceSearch.apk to system/app
make sure the right permission
then reboot,you got it
Thank You. That is where I was making my mistake. In the post it just gave the download link and I was installing that is why it never worked for me. I an new to android, I still haven't learned when to do what.

[Q] Where is the Search Function?

Is it just me or did the search function on the XDA site suddenly disappear? I wanted to find something in a very large thread this morning, and the search function is gone. I checked a few other threads; gone from those too.
So, if people are constantly complaining that other people aren't searching threads for answers before asking questions......but there is no search function....how is that going to work?

[Q] Search Function peculiarity

Not sure which rule I prefer to break - I tried to post this in the XDA forum as it isn't a phone topic but got told questions there break forum rules . :lol: and to post Q's here...
I wanted to look at the 1% Battery mod I have seen mentioned in a number of posts. If I type in '1% battery' in the Search for all threads at the top of page, & click for Titles Only, I get a listing of threads across the boards that have 1% battery in the title. As expected.
If I do exactly the same thing in the forum for S3 Themes and Apps, or even for Samsung S3 parent forum, the software removes the % sign and searches for '1 battery' which is less than useful given how many threads have '1' in the title. This happens even if I enclose it in " " which normally tells Search engines to look for exact text.
Strange... I'd have thought the same search engine would be used for all searches.
