I'm not experiencing the auto search problems of the OP but when using the birds eye view and track me using gps, the little arrow that represents me is way off. But if I switch back to the basic map view its all good.

If you look in the sub-menu there will be a little globe or a file cabinet by the suggestion. If you click on one of the suggestions with a globe. It will take you to your browser. The file cabinet gives you the normal search answers.

Is live search visible from "Remove Programs" in settings? It is on the TP, if so remove it from there then from IE browse to wls.live.com and that SHOULD be the latest version available for your device.

I'll reinstall and see if it was just a fluke thing on my end...

i love windows live search. i just updated, theres nothing wrong with it.

my only wish was to be able to have live search left on in the background without quitting. i dont know if its my crap q9c or the software itself, but well see.

I unintalled because birds eye view was kinda silly, the autocomplete feature doesnt work well with the onscreen keyboard, but mostly because there appears to be a bug in the city search. If you click on change location and type in a city, state it doesnt find the city. example: lets say your location is set to los angeles, ca. If you hit change location, and type reseda, ca in the search box, it will search for "reseda" near los angeles. It appears to have it signals crossed and instaed of looking up a city, its searching for business names in your current location. Try it out....... the older version works like its supposed to.

Well, when you click change location, you are given choices, current GPS, Recent, Point on map, Contacts and List of cities. I don't believe the search box is/was intended for the purpose you are trying to use it for. Your city isn't listed in the list of cities so I would suggest you click "Current GPS".

Well, if it was a fluke, I was able to repeat it. It is still giving me grief with autosuggest and having to reselect the search box after each letter. I have turned it off and I can input a whole word now...

I have the same problem, but if I select a contact for a destination, it doesn't locate the destinatino correctly, but instead does a search for that address near me. How would I enter a destination address if I cannot put it into the search bar?

In all other versions of livesearch the search box on the change location screen was to "search" for cites or direct addresses. The way I found it didn't work was because I was at home(canoga park, ca.) and I wanted to search for somewhere to eat near a city I was driving to(reseda, ca.). I couldnt remember the zipcode of Reseda and put in the address, city, and state. It said not found. Definitely a bug, the previous version worked perfectly. I reinstalled and all is good.
