Open Google search with search button

For those who prefer Google over Bing, here's how to reassign the search button to open Google search

1. Open IE. Go to settings > advance settings. Set default search to Google
2. Go to region settings of the phone, set 'search language' to Russian

Now pressing search button will open Google search.

P.S This isn't a thread to b***h about Google. Some of us love our Windows Phone but prefer using Google search.

I don't have an option to change the default search on my phone, or at least if I do I can't find it.

Brilliant. Thanks for this. Works a dream.

Ok so it just loads the web page cheers good info for those that want it

I do not have any such option above "manage storage".

I don't have that option. I've got a Verizon 8X. I'll post a screenshot later.

Me neither! I realllyy wanted this option but it isn't with me on Rogers Canada :'(

Also, for the search button trick, sign in and it'll put you to the language your Google Account is set to automatically.

worked for me thanks

Guessing this is only for Lumias.

I had an 822 prior to the 8X and I don't believe it had that option either. Not a big deal for me, I don't mind Bing at all, but it would be nice to be able to change it.
