Setting Up Google as Default Search on Lumia 920 / Lumia 820 Is Easy

This article explains how to change the search provider in Internet Explorer in the OS and NOT for the phone itself. The "search" button still opens Bing.

I changed "search language" in regional settings to Russian and search button opens google in browser now, and obviously one can search in English there.

I cant believe it, but this actually worked. (lumia 920)

It is True. Tried. It is also worked to my Lumia 820. However, you need to change setting=> language =>search language to russian and reboot the phone. It will change to google russian after the rebooting. But if you change the search language back to English, the BING will come up again.

Works for Lumia 920. Thanks!

How do you change the Search Button to not have Bing but google on the phone next to the home button?

Setting the browser language to Bashkir makes the search button open google in English

does not work in 610 :(

Totally works! (Lumia 920) Something else I found out, when you hit the search button and google pops up, it has a link near the bottom that says something along the lines of "How do I change my default language?". Click the link, you can log into your google account, and your account setting should come up. Obviously your default language will be English, so close out of that window, and next time you hit the search button it'll be English!

Is there a way to disable "Search" Capacitive Button? The pad of my thumb hits the Search button in the bottom right corner every time I reach for something on the screen

Do you know how to do that on a Windows phone 8s by htc because I can't find it anywhere but I have been told it can be done?
