Control Panel > Programs and features > at left pane, click on “ View installed Updates” > Ensure “KB2825786” is in the list.

               

Check in SP power shell:

Open the SharePoint 2010 power shell

                                                                                                          

Type the following:

(get-spfarm).buildversion

Ensure it shows something like 14 0 7108 5000

                                                

           

Note: Maybe you'll notice that after installing, the Config DB version is 14.0.7108.5000 instead of 14.0.7110.5000. No worries that it's because of the SEARCH dlls have been released as a version higher 14.0.7110.5000 than the SharePoint dlls 14.0.7108.5000 .
