on my HTC 8x, the search button is really annoying... i cant use my phone with 1 hand because every time i do and try to tap something high up, my search button gets touched by my palm and goes to bing... its happened like 20 times already in 1 day and its annoying as a mother...

can i disable it somehow?

Microsoft should make the OS to where the search button only works when i'm on my home screen and apps list screen. so if i'm browsing 1 handed, trying to make a call, or texting, hitting the search button with my palm wouldn't trigger anything.

that would be much better because im pretty sure people are having this problem too...

until microsoft does something like that, does anyone know how to disable it?

Aye. Same here on mg Lumia 920. I've turned the sensitivity to normal and the same search button still triggers. **** if I look at the search button wrong, it goes off smh.

No, sorry, it does take some getting used to on how to best hold your phone and not activate the search button, but you do get used to it and it can actually be quite useful. If you want to disable it in certain games, you can do so by adding those games to Kids Corner and playing them there, but otherwise it cannot be disabled

This cant be disabled sorry. I guess you could put a small piece of tape over the button that might work to keep you from pressing it.

I had the same problem with my Lumia 800 a year ago, it never happens nowadays. You'll get used to it after a short time.
