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...

thanks for sharing...
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

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.

DM
thank you, this works great!
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..

Am interested... Luv Google and not 'Dead' Search...
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:

Im very new to the android world and want to talk to my friends on iphone video chat but cant with qik. A good friend told me to use IMSDroid but i do not understand how to use it i searched all through this website and could not find anything. Anyone know how to set it up or do i need to look elsewhere?
They're gonna boot this out of dev but just use Fring.
This goes in the Q&A section, man. But personally, use either Fring or Tango. Tango it less invasive and more intuitive.
Look for tango on the app store
ISMDROID
here is the link to setup IMSDROID, but first you have to open an account on any SIP Server.
Then, look on google.com and search for imsdroid quick star
Sorry, I cant post a link.
Hope that this would help you. Let me know.
Here is link to IMSDroid Site for more info and link to actual apk files Last update was 21hrs ago. Enjoy.
Why does searching this forum produce rubbish results? For example try a search for "sony psp" Nothing to do with sony psp comes back !!!!!!
Hower if you go to goole and try "sony psp xda" you get the correct result.
When will this problem be fixed?
After all if you want us to look through the forum before posting you need to make that work !!!!!!!
Maybe you could have a goole search box at one side ???
Maybe you should not have tags? (as they dont work !!!) and just use what google uses? Tags are pointless if google can find good search results and this forum find rubbish !!!???
vBulletin's search has never been that great.
The search box at the top of the site uses Google.
Hey everyone, Had a quick search of the forum and cant find anything similar to what my problem is..
After flashing and installing cm7 I was suprised to see that I had no market/market had not installed.
I downloaded an android market app, however when I go to open it it says "You must add an account to the device to continue. Do you want to add one now?"
If I press yes, it goes no where and market closes.
However in settings I have had a look at adding an Account to the phone through Accounts/Sync..
When I do this, It asks for my email address and password which I enter..
After entering the details, It takes me to a "server settings" page which is already filled out for me, but when I press next, I get "setup could not finish, unable to open connection to server"
Can anybody please help me figure this out!? Would be much appreciated!
Matt

Well to me its obvious you DIDN'T as there's plenty of people had the same problem as you, myself included when I first jumped in with two feet and flashed cm7 without even reading what I was doing! Only difference is it took me about 30 seconds to figure out that I needed to flash Google apps and I don't believe for one second that you searched anywhere before posting this so I'll let you make up the time by finding out how to do that yourself.

did you flash latest version gapps ?
Thanks shemulweb, That's exactly what I needed to do.
As for you scratch.. I have no problem with you "leaving me to do it" as I know exactly what to do now. Just because I couldn't find anything on it or typed in the wrong search keywords does not mean you have to come across stuck up. I'm not a noob, I don't need people to show me how to do things. I just missed a step in the process.
Sorry mate just p's me off answering the same questions repeatedly, especially when its been asked thousands of times in the cm7 thread and here.
A little tip I've learnt for searching is on Google type what you're looking for (obviously) and add xda and or wildfire if its something specific to this phone.
