Android’s Google Search was updated today to 1.3.3.247963. In this update you will find a lot of enhancements already found on the Galaxy Nexus’ Ice Cream Sandwich OS 4.0.

‘What’s new’ included in this update is:

• New Color Scheme and simplified UI
• Faster
• Enhanced suggestions and query editing
• Better localized suggestions and search results for more countries
• Long press on history items to remove them

Here are some additional tips we’d like to share:

• Tap the arrow to the right of a search suggestion or history item to add it to your search term before searching.
• Get suggestions from other apps on your phone – check out searchable items in Search settings.
• Long press on home screen to add the Google Search widget, if you don’t have it already, to access search faster

If you have Android 2.2 or later, you can download the app from Android Market.
