Today screen Google search?

[IsLNdbOi]

Has anyone been able to get the Treo's Today Screen Google Search plugin and install it on another device?

I had a Treo 750 on Cingular, but switched back to an IP-830W on Sprint. I miss that today screen google search plugin.

Not from the Treo, but it worked nonetheless.

Search for the install for windows live (it has been ripped from a WM6 rom) and it adds a search bar to the today screen. You can even get in the registry and change the search site to anything you want. I changed mine to google.

If I install the Windows Live app.. Will it install the new IM app. as well? I just want the today screen search.

I've searched and all I can find is the Windows Live IM app. from WM6. I can't find the today screen search.

- "Windows Live Search" Confusion Resolved:

1. The file you (windows live mobile, search for "Windows Live Mobile.zip") did contain the application that would allow you to have the very thin search bar on the today screen. It puts a "Windows Live" icon on your applications menu(/screen).

2. Microsoft Live Search ("LiveSearch.cab") is a FANTASTIC application. It puts a "Live Search" icon on your applications menu(/screen). It has these small but very powerful applications built into it: Categories, Map, Directios, Traffic, Movies, and Gas Prices. For example for "Gas Prices", that tells you where you can find gas the cheapest - near where you live! It does NOT have the Today Screen search bar.

For #1 above: How do you change the search default to using Google for it's searches?

I know this is an old topic, but if someone comes across this post in a search as I did and are still interested in how to change the Windows Live Today Screen Search Plugin to use Google Mobile Search, this is how to do it (for Windows Mobile Pro 6.1; probably be the same for other versions of Windows Mobile as well):

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.

The solution is really quite simple. Download Googlesearch.CAB to your phone. Just point PIE to m.google.com/search or you can have them text you the .cab file.

It's actually better than the treo search plugin since it remembers your last query.

Here, I made it even easier....
