Earlier this week, Google started rolling out a new Search tab to its tablet Play Store, which removes direct access to the search bar inside the app and requires you to first open the Search tab and then tap the bar to start typing what you’re looking for. What Google failed to tell everyone is that there’s a quick but hidden workaround to quickly start searching, but few people would know it.
And this workaround isn’t just limited to the
Play Store on
Android tablets; it*also applies to the Play Store on
Android phones, as well as Google Photos on both phones and tablets. And if any other Google apps gets updated to replace the top search bar with a new separate search tab, then it will likely carry through to them as well.
