Unfortunately, no. The menu button has been deprecated on new devices, having been replaced by the "three dots" "button" for compatibility with older apps. Most new phones are 3 button (back,home,recent apps), one button, or zero button (3 buttons emulated on the touch screen with the "three dots" button appearing when necessary). The search button is entirely gone. I'm guessing new android apps aren't supposed to use the "three dots" "button".
Of course this makes new apps confusing on older devices as the menu button does nothing, but does not disappear as an indication that there is no menu function. That's why, on the older device I was using, there was no "three dots", but also no indication that the menu button had any function.
