Is there a way to turn off the Google search when you press a hardkey? I find my thumb hovering over the hard key and then it will just come up. Is there any way to turn it off?

Well i have turned Google Now off, so the only thing that comes up is the search box that would have been google now window. I am asking where i would go to do that, i have searched all over the place in the menus and settings and can't seem to see where to turn it off at.
Go to Settings, search for apps icon , then select all apps. Find google search from that list and stop service and delete it.

How did you do that?
solution
Menu > settings > turn off/untick mobile view
restart browser = sorted

Ah, so I'm not the only one having this problem...
Picked up a new Incredible S over the weekend (my old Desire died on me ...). I just starting having this same problem yesterday and initially thought my Swype installation screwed something up. Odd that it only seems to affects the Google home page. For instance, if you're on the news.google.com page and type in the search box, all is fine...
I also tried using Dolphin browser but had the same problem.
Problem with Cirian75's solution is then you lose the benefit of viewing mobile formatted pages...
I think google has done something recently to its search page and its not the phones.
Same thing, and appeared only today and only on mobile Google search page. Browser thinks that's a password form and fills the input text with points. There's also no option to type in other than english.

so we agree, we think google has messed up the code on the mobile search page
Nothings wrong with the phones suddenly, its google mobile search page thats gone tits up.
Same problem, and it only started happening yesterday, Google must have done something

Seems to have been fixed today. Working fine with both swype and stock keyboard. Didn't change anything on my phone.

long press in a text box, select 'input method" and switch back to the original keyboard, then select input method again and switch back to swype.
Yup. All's working fine now. Weird...
Our nexus have search button which used to search within the running application, for eg, in music player if we press search button it used to search for songs in that player, but this feature is not available in 4.1. Wherever we are, pressing search button opens Google now! Does anyone know how to reassign that button to search within app only, and long pressing to open Google now??????

not everything requires a mod. just press the search and type your song/artist/album name. dont press go. let it filter and it will give you your results. if you press go, it will search the web and you have to select phone from the bottom ribbon.
make sure you have enabled google now --> settings--> phone search --> play music
somethings just need a bit of understanding
I think the best behavior is the original one, search in the app that is opened. I hate when I am in the browser and I click the search and google nows opens. The same happens in all apps like gmail app, I press to search an email and bye bye the apps goes away. I don't really care if galaxy nexus don't have this button. We do and so we should get some advantage of it.
Kind regards
Probably a silly question but I've Google it and cannot find an answer. When I close the stock Internet app with the home button and reopen it later it resets back to my home Page. Is there any way I can get it to stay on the pages I have open when I exit?
Thanks,
Sam.

Use Chrome or Opera. It does the job.

Use "Application Monitor" Widgets & Open Your Internet Browser From Active Application.

If your on ics rom the internet browser always open where you left it, in the setting just check the remember form data.
If your on ics rom and doing from the above still does not solve your problem then go to setting advanced and reset to default.

Change your language to English US. Simple Google search would've sufficed honestly
Are you in android 4.2.2 or 4.1.2?
If you're on android 4.2.2 use a swipe to the high on the home button.
If you're on 4.1.2 double tap on home button
try this!

On my stock T-Mobile, holding the home button will bring up Google Now.
EDIT: Mine also has a widget for Google now, I keep that on my home page. However, I still have to first open the program by holding the menu key after a reboot. After that I can simply touch the widget.
Google 4.4 Launcher working great on Note 3. Go to thread below.
