Re: Browser Tab Search Bar, How to change to google? PLEASE HELP!!!

Launch the browser. When you're connected, you'll see a tab at the bottom right corner(*the very last tab that looks like a page, with another page on top of it*.) Click that tab and it will be bring up a list of options. Click on settings>start page>then tap on the circle for user-defined(*the black dot should be in this circle.*) From there, just type in m.google.com in the white box or whatever page you want for your start page when you launch your browser. Then click the check mark on the bottom left to save your settings. The next time your launch your browser m.google.com or whatever you set as your start page will appear first.

Re: Browser Tab Search Bar, How to change to google? PLEASE HELP!!!

If you have a registry editor available, go to HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila, find the entry named InternetSearchURL and change the data from
Code:
http://www.bing.com/search?q=%s
to
Code:
http://www.google.com/m?q=%s
After making the change, try using the search box. If it doesn't work, soft-reset and try again and it should hopefully work then for you.

EDIT: If others want, I could make a cab of this for easier installation/use
