When using the Google search widget, the system crawls. If I type fast, I have to wait a few seconds for the keyboard to catch up.
Am I alone on this?
Also, when I type something and want to search using the browser, how can I make it NOT use the mobile Google results?
I have the same issue when using the google search widget. I assume everyone has this issue

When I make a short cut to maps and when I select it, I am always asked to choose between Latitude and Maps and every time I choose "use by default for this action before selecting maps. But each time I am prompted. This is annoying because I'm using all text icons so I dont want to use the actual official short cut for it. Please help!
That's quite odd; I just tried it on my phone and it worked as would be expected.
How are you creating the shortcut? Dragging-and-dropping the Maps application from the Apps Drawer to the homescreen? Or something else?
I had a similar problem with the phone dialer. After switching to CM6.1, it kept asking if I wanted to use the phone, or open contacts, and it wouldn't remember my selection.
I ended up deleting my existing shortcuts, and adding new ones, but it sounds like you've already tried that...

Pretty obvious what I need help with. Anyone know how to install google search?

google search keeps force closing
this is odd...
after uninstalling bing and installing google search from market it was working fine for a while (1-2 days)
now whenever i type more than 2 characters into the google search box it force closes.
tried uninstalling / reinstalling and clearing the app's data- no dice.
also tried with email history enabled and with it disabled.
any ideas?
I have mine working OK, but not with the Voice Search from the market. What I found was that the Voice Search from the market did not fully integrate with maps, etc (like saying: "Navigate to" came up with some ridiculous kbbb or something else, and speaking for an instant message was hideous).
I renamed the BingSearch.apk and the Bing service apk (can't remember the exact name) in the /System/Data directory (I'm rooted). I pulled the Voice Search APK out of a 2.2 ROM (specifically from my old device - Eris) from the System/Data directory and installed that (uninstalling the market version first). It integrated fully with EVERYTHING, but as of now, like you, my physical Search button doesn't work.
My search Button doesn't work with bing either lol. Straight outta the box. Nothing.

i'm rooted too. wish my google search would work when i hit the search soft key
This isn't for Google Search but it was posted for using the search to bring up the phone. Better than not being functional at all and you may be able to figure out how to make it Google Search.

The problem with that is it changes the functionality of the Search button entirely. For some, that may work, but in certain applications, that button is still a method to search (like root explorer).

Its not the app. I just went through this when I got the Charge. Go to your Google dashboard and go to speech and click anonymize recognition. This deletes the voice recordings stored from your previous phone. Mine was coming up with kkkkk stuff when I first got the Charge. I guess different devices pick up your speech in a different manner. Try it and see if that fixes your issue.

When I try a search querie in the Google Search app for Android (I am on the lastest nighlty of Cyanogenmod 9). Google Search has the tendency to kick me out after just typing one letter, but when I just open the Google Search app and leave it, it remains at the screen. Also it does give suggestion after just searching with only one letter, like for example 'w' gives whatsapp etc. So is anyone else having this problem, and how did you solve it?
(It does work somethimes, but that has a smaller chance than it kicking me out. There also isn't any mentioning that the app has crashed. It just brings me back to the android home screen...)
Hi,
I just got the Nova Launcher set up on my P10. I tried duplicating the Google Pixel 2 layout, but one thing is annoying me. When pressing the Google search bar that comes with Nova it opens the Google app. I want it to open Chrome instead. When disabling the Google app to try forcing Nova to use Chrome, nothing happens when i press the Google bar. I then contacted Nova support, but they told me "Nova is coded to use whatever your device has set as default. That's not something you can change within Nova itself."
But how can i sett Chrome to default? I just dont get how this works. Does anyone have a solution for this?
I think that is normal. When u use google search bar, the search result will appear in google app. But when u select the search result, it'll open in chrome.

Yes, thats exactly what happens. But i dont want the Google app at i all. Just wish there was some way to connect the search bar to Chrome instead.

I have also tried this but no luck. After some thoughts on the matter I actually don't see the difference in touching the search bar and typing something or touching the Chrome icon and typing something... So I stopped using the search bar at all...

I know what you mean its not something i really miss, but i think it looks more nice with the search bar.
Anyways, it would be much smoother if it didnt actually open the Google app at all, but instead you could type directly into the search bar.
Since updating to Pie, I'm having issues with searches on the browser. It only happens the very first time when I open the browser. I type something into the search bar and hit search. It just freezes up. The only fix is to close that tab and open a new tab and retype what I wanted to search. It happens every single time I open the browser to search something. Doesn't happen when using bookmarks or going to websites, only when trying to search. Anyone else?
