They heard you, Samsung has brought back the ability to hide your Navigation Bar and Swipe Gestures.

 
You will have to download Goodlock and specially NavStar once installed toggled on NavStar, Enable extra gesture settings.
 
Go to settings. Display, navigation, show more, have fun again. 
 
Ps. If you already have both apps and you are not seeing those options, Open Goodlick again scroll to NavStar, tap on the more, go to store, there will be an update waiting. For some reason it isn't showing up in updates

Everyone, please consider leaving requests for removing the gesture hints via reviews on the navstar store page. Those reviews are read directly by the developers and have the best shot of garnering a reaction.

Both myself and MANY people on Reddit are upset by Samsung's apparent decision to remove the option to hide the navigation buttons. It seems we're being forced to move to either Android gestures with a permanent bar shown at the bottom of the screen or use standard nav buttons which are also always visible. Samsung has had the option to hide nav buttons for a long time now and many power users prefer it since it allows more screen space and a cleaner experience. Here is the reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/19b3c35/samsung_is_removing_the_option_to_hide_android/

My understanding is that circle to search is activated by a long press on the "home button" the same way assistant is currently activated. It works just fine for for me with a long swipe up from the invisible home button location. I can't figure out why circle to search wouldn't work just as well that way.
