Google Search Today Screen Plug in Now Available

This program totally messed up my Tilt's start menu for some reason. Even after I uninstalled it, it persisted. I wonder why a google search bar made my start menu all weird? I hope this can be fixed, otherwise I'll have to hard reset the phone.

I read the above review of Google Search- but it is listed as a today plug-in. If you follow the link, it gives you google search from a web browser. Am I doing sonething wrong.

I know this is an old topic, but if someone comes across this post in a search as I did, they might be interested in this information (for Windows Mobile Pro 6.1; might be the same for other versions of Windows Mobile as well):

I didn't like the look of the Google Today Screen Search Plugin, the white border really stuck out and didn't look good with the HTC Black Theme I was using. And although I didn't like using Windows Live Search, I liked the look of the Windows Live Today Screen Search Plugin better, so I went into the registry to see if I could make the Windows Live Today Screen Search Plugin open Google when a search term was entered. Whatever your reason for not wanting the Google Today Screen Search Plugin; the look of it, or it doesn't work for you, this is a workaround that allows you to get/use Google via the Windows Live Today Screen Search Plugin instead.

1. Obviously you need a registry editor. I use the free PHM Registry Editor [http://www.phm.lu/products/PocketPC/RegEdit/]

2. Open the registry editor and browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Services > Windows Live > HSAppPlugins.

3. I would copy the 'SearchURL' value, then rename it by adding "Backup" after 'SearchURL', then paste, thereby creating an original and a backup just in case. Alternatively you could export 'SearchURL' to back it up.

4. Modify the 'SearchURL' data to: http://www.google.com/m?source=mobileproducts&q=

5. Press Ok and exit the registry editor. A reset of any kind is not necessary, the modified Windows Live Today Screen Search Plugin will work with Google Mobile Search instantly.
