Google Play Store to get white search bar in upcoming update

Google is planning to add the white search bar, which you normally see in Google Now, to its Play Store app. In an upcoming Play Store update, Google will replace the existing tiny search icon with full search bar, allowing the users to tap anywhere on the bar to open the search function. It is almost exactly same as you see in the search bar present in Google Now including the spinning arrow animation.

There is no word on when this Play Store update will begin rolling-out, but it is expected soon. As Play Store update are normally released in batches, it could take some time for it to reach to your Android device. [Source: Google+]
