I wish I knew--like you, my Google Search has turned (back) into Local Search; I'm not 100% certain that it was the update to 2014.20 (and/or 2014.30, which I'm currently on) that "broke" it because I did notice that the Google Search icon was still there after 2014.30.
If I had a spare iPhone lying around, I would try installing Garmin from scratch but using 2013 data instead of 2014 to see if the changes were due to anything server-side on Garmin's end...
I suspect the message in the Extras menu about no longer being able to get a "subscription" for (certain) services once they expire may have something to do with it--i.e., it could be that perhaps things like the Fuel Prices option may have "expired" and are apparently no longer available; that, or Garmin wised up and made changes to their back-end servers used for purchases and stuff...
