I had to uninstall the google search 1.0 to install the latest one.
I am on cm6
Now my hardware search button doesn't do anything,
How do I reassign it so it opens search?

I just received my mt3gs and thought I'd try it "as is" for a few days before rooting it. One thing that I've used heavily on every other Android phone (G1, Droid, EVO) is the voice search icon. That is missing on the mt3gs - is there any way to get it on there? I love being able to hit one icon, then say something like "navigate to starbucks". I tried that with the "Genius Button" and it just plain didn't work. The voice search icon is also missing from the search widget (though it shows up once you click on it to enter text.)
go into the widget menu. select widgets and select the 2nd search widget.
right now you have the HTC search.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thanks, that solved half my problem! (I guess I didn't scroll down far enough to see the 2nd search widget.) I still like to have just the voice icon on my default home screen since that takes up less space - hopefully someone knows how to add that.
Well, I solved the problem by rooting and installing SlideM!!!
Hi All--
I had a lot of trouble with this and finally figured it out so I thought I would pass it on.
This is how to get a longpress of the search key (or any other key you choose) to activate voice search in ICS (I am doing this on AOKP b35).
The problem is that Voice Search doesn't show up in the applications list.
SO:
1. Use titanium backup to delete the voicesearch apk.
2. Install Voice Search from the market (a different version, but we'll fix that in a sec)
3. In Rom Settings (or liquid settings, or whatever) go and set the longpress as you would like it to activate voice search.
4. Flash the ICS Gapps package. This will replace the voicesearch apk with the new one, but it keeps the shortcut active.
Good luck!
You can also use Nova Activities to assign it more easily. Assign the long-press action to Custom App -> Activities -> Voice Search -> RecognitionActivity. I started to go through the steps for your method, and then this struck me. Seems to work.
Hmmm. Mines always worked. I think custom roms set this up by default.

Running JB 4.1.1. on ATT SG3 (SGHI747). Recently rooted.
Touching the microphone associated with Google Search used to allow me to speak and fill fields. Now, touching the icon brings me to the Play Store link to the Google Voice Search app page. I've already uninstalled and reinstalled the application, cleared all file associations, rebooted.
I'm a total noob. I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks.

Where is this microphone located? If it is a shortcut out on your main screens (desktop area who's name is escaping me currently) you might want to try going into the "Apps" drawer and opening google voice there. If that works then trash your broken shortcut and drag a new one out.
is there a way to undo apps i set to open with like for example i use mixzing as a music app as default but i wanted to use poweramp how do i reset im trying to reset the miui launcher because i want to use home2 to use home button double tapped to map to google now voice search to work like siri please help thanks!
well guyz i've found a way to make voice search in google now possible
but the problem that it's not free
here the way:
- Voice Search on Google Now (kind of):
1. Install Voice Search from the Play Store
2. Install this app (now requires $0.99): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1770100
3. Long-press search key (or open app drawer), and pick Voice Search Assistant with the blue microphone icon
4. App will capture voice using the old Voice Search, then send it to Google Now
5. Press search button on keyboard
cheers
if i helped you simply just press thanks
