I installed and run it on HD2 WP7, I only have Bing App on the drop down combo. At the bottom, the plus button is grayed so can't add or edit current search provider. How does this realy work?
Your OS image doesn't include any other providers by default, it seems. I've implemented a simple form of the Add function (plus button) though.I installed and run it on HD2 WP7, I only have Bing App on the drop down combo.

Thanks, @nayato!I think it's worth to clarify: this app can do smth for your phone if you have non-bing search; I believe bing search is always present on device but isn't always set as a default one. If you are like me having bing set out of the box there's pretty high chance you won't be able to change search provider as there are no necessary entries for those. This app does not allow you to add search providers as of yet but the author is heading there. So let's just subscribe for this branch and wait. It's worth posting if you do have more than just bing and cannot use app to change provider (i.e. report issues).
@GoodDayToDie, man, can't wait to add Google... Your work is much appreciated!
@cina, I'm not sure if this is possible, but if I find a way to hook the Search button in WP7 I'll definitely look into making this change! I'm not even hooking the button in IE, just changing the value that IE looks at when you hit the Search button (not the same thing, though if there's an equivalent function for everything else that would work). If anybody knows a way to do this, please let me know...Hi!
I tested your app and it is working though it worth mentioning the correct usage:
It DOES NOT pop up Google from the main screen pressing the search button!
It maps Google to search button while you are in Internet Explorer. Still it is just a two tap quickie opposed to typing Google manually.
Suggestion: It would be nice to have the search button mapped always to Google though but I'm not sure whether it is possible.

omnia 7 not working. Gives the error cant write bla bla. Thanks anyway
great work friend!
work very well on my optimus 7!!
thank you!!
Good catch, sorry about that! My phone came pre-configured with Google (which prompted me to write this app) and I didn't look close enough at the site they use - http://www.google.com/m, not http://m.google.com. I'll make this change tonight.
Sorry everybody! It'll be fixed soon!
EDIT: I can also add the ability to force the full Google search page, although it's not a great experience on the phone's screen.
