Hi everyone,
I was wondering if there is a way to redirect the WM Live Search bar on the today screen to search using Google or any other site OTHER than the WM Live search.
Would the require a registry edit...?
Thought it would be more handy for me to use a different search engine on the today screen other than the WM Live one. Sorry if this has been posted up already but I searched and had no luck.
I'm using Faria's Custom V1 Rom with WM6 by the way.
Thank you in advance!
Ouch - I can see whats coming...

As in its not possible, too difficult, or I'm going to get attacked by a ridiculous number of forum members for not searching?

HTCustom 1.4 also has a check box for this under the UI tab.
Man, you got off lucky.

lol sure did, we must all be in a good mood today. I'm not one for flamming, as I've been a stupid noob before, and sadly searching isn't an ingrained behavior in this generation. I know my kids are going to be googling before they can even speak, but that's not the case atm.
Try my change which is also listed in that wiki entry. It will allow you to have spaces in the search term.
Any way to change it to YouTube?

Yahoo search for two or more words
I'm trying to use the windows live search with
Yahoo!
"searchURL" {http://it.search.yahoo.com/search?p=}
and Yahoo! One Search for PDA
"searchURL" {http://it.wap.yahoo.com/p/search?p=}
but there is a problem with the search of two or more words... for example if I search:
WORD1 WORD2
it seems like it searchs
WORD1%u0020WORD2
Any idea to solve it?

Can you please help? I keep getting a pop-up warning (with this and the original search string) that "There is no application associated with {search string}. Run the application first then open this file from within the application. (where Search string is as defined in reg plus text that is being searched for.
Can you help? I have tried opening this search string from within PIE and it works quite OK. But that does not solve the problem.
EDIT: I HAD SOME OTHER PROBLEMS AND DECIDED TO HARD-RESET. ISSUE SOLVED SO I GUESS I HAD SOMEHOW CORRUPTED THE REGISTRY. I SUSPECT THAT UNINSTALLING OPERA CAUSED THE PROBLEM.

A simple reg hack will let you search google instead of windows live.
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE)-Services-Windows Live-HSAppPlugins
change searchURL to http://google.com/search?hl=en&q=
someone please post the settings before the hack i forgot to write it down incase i want to change it back.
your welcome
the original value is....
http://mobile.live.com/search/results.aspx?=
nice diggin =) think ill try to get it do the swedish search instead
The URL is: http://mobile.live.com/search/Results.aspx?q=
The above is what is in the registry!!
While the search page is at:
http://m.live.com/search/default.aspx?mkt=en-us
and Home is at:
http://mobile.live.com/pocketpc/default.aspx?mkt=en-US
Simple
thanks for the great hack! god knows the default search was horrible
Live search is simply you type a query and it opens up PIE with Live search...you can accomplish the same thing by just open up PIE and have google set as the default home page. I don't use Live search..just the messenger part Thanks for this great info.
I figured this out months ago, and posted in on HoFo...

i added this to the wiki, and am going to lock the thread
I felt it was appropriate to re-open this thread. There have been issues with the original url not correctly handling search terms with embedded spaces. I've got what may be a fix to this. Try the following URL:
http://www.google.com/pda?hl=en&q=
This seems to work for me. Hows it working for everyone else?
wow austinsync I thought you were only good at flaming noobs! Nice work..
Sleuth - confirmed link is working fo rme
Works great on a 8125 as well!!!!!!!

nope... i searched "austin bbq" as test (and because i'm hungry and want som BBQ!!) and PIE opened up with this in the search box: "austin%u0020bbq"
Doesn't work for me either. It does open up PIE and puts the given search query in the google searchbox, but doesn't directly show the search results. For that, I need to press search again.
Weird.
I also wonder, if it's possible, to display Google Search on the desktop instead of Live Search.
Regards,
DM
thank you, this works great!

cab?
can someone be so kind to make a cab file for the reg fix? Makes it a lot easier every time we switch roms
This URL works great for me.
http://www.google.com/m/search?output=xhtml&source=mobileproducts&mrestrict=xhtml&q=
It is also in the wiki
Does anyone know if it's possible to change "Live Search" to "Google Search" ?
There is a search plugin lifted from the treo700 that defaults to google. look in the treo700 rom dumped thread in the development and hacking forum. It works well but doesn't allow SIP input. You need to have the keyboard opened to use it.
I can make an installer if anyone's interested.
Interested.... Thnxs in advance..

On my latest WM6 ROM, I have cooked a working google URL into the live search today item. Embedded spaces work just fine. This is a major WM6 update btw. If you're interested in upgrading, here's a link to the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308019
modaco has a nice fix for it.

Hello all,
I just upgraded my 8525 to wm6 black 2.0, all went flawless, thank you very much for all envolved.
1 problem, is there a known keyboard issue, and fix. I noticed when I selected shift (to use a symbol) from the keyboard it was the wrong symbol.
Example, I hit the blue dot so I could select the colon, but I got a semi colin. The dash actually was the colon.
I hope this makes sense, is there a known issue and fix?
Thank you.
is this a joke?
you couldn't read the wiki (or do a simple search) before starting a new thread and asking a question that has been answered thousands of times already?!?!?
Mods, please ban this user and close this thread.
Sheesh easy turbo...
I did a search...
I saw no wiki...
Found no answer. Why do you got to be sucha jerk. Oh yeah and thank you for the answer.
Close the thread is fine but ask for me to be banned... I am a newbie... this is my welcome to my first post...
Here you go. It was easy to find though.
Thank you... and yes after the post above I searched again and found it. It helped narrowing the search to the correct forum.
Thanks again KarhU

You need to soft reset!
I crush you like a puny bug!
(Said with my best gap-toothed Ahnuld accent. Which, in all honesty, kinda sucks)

Will this CAB file work with the Softbank X01HT also? I'm also having the keyboard layout issue. While I did find a way to manually tweak the registry, I would rather not mess with it if this CAB can fix my issue. Any help is appreciated.
this works for me.
hi i just installed black ed 3.01 love it btw great work
but im havin an issue with ma keyboard, the symbols are mixed up
does anyone know how to fix this thanks in advance
It's easy to fix.. Just remove the keys and reposition them to line up with the ROM. OR, use a permanent marker and white-out to correct the mistakes.
Solution here: Get a copy of HTCustom and select your keyboard layout... That'll fix it.
lol jokes....so where do i get that?

OMG! Walsh! I never saw that!! You mean there is a SEARCH function on this site? But, I want to FIND something--do you mean to tell me that a SEARCH would help me find something? I thought you only SEARCHed if you missing your little Dog and it couldn't find its way home.. Don't tell me that you can SEARCH on a forum and FIND an **ANSWER**! OMG! That's deep!
got it guys thanks
so i wonder ehat you asked in 24 posts i wonder what you learned in your time here at Xda cuz if you dont know how to change your keyboard symbols you shouldnt be flashing ROMS my friend. that is N00b lesson 101 if you cant fix it dont flash it... Also there is little niffty search button and a thing called google.com if you have a question try there first and dont make a stupid thread thats a waste of space and time...
See, we can play be nice.

On my profile I want my location to show up...how do I do this?? Not a noob when it comes to forums but I have looked all over! Tried searching but my terms were too generic no matter what I put in (plus I'm lazy). Can anyone help me with this?
There still seems to be a bug in the forum software. Normally you should be able to configure this in your UserCP (User Control Panel), but the menu entry for this group of settings does not show up anymore.
But you can use this link directly in order to adapt your settings.

you are abusing others will and ability to help
the fact that you are lazy isn't justifying that
in few last days there were about 6 threads about changing location
so get your lazy ass up and read
Whatever dude, I looked and did search. Maybe they should fix this bug and no one would have to ask. Oh and thank you Foo.
