An easier way to solve this problem, is to open the browser on the Sprint page
1. Press the menu key
2. Select "More"
3. Go to the bottom, select "Settings"
4. Go to the bottom again, select "Website settings"
5. Chose Google
6. Select "Clear location access"
It would seem Sprint tries to force you to use their search over Goggle's.
To permanently by pass this, bookmark Google and then create a link to this bookmark on your main screen. You'll never see Sprint again.
