Help Voice Actions / Search

Ok, pre-ICS Incredible models had the 4 capacitive button arrangements and I make full use of them. I like quick tapping Search to search the phone/web and a long press to activate Voice Actions.

On your shiny New DInc4G's, let's say your phone is off. What's the fastest way to activate search and the fastest way to activate Voice Actions? Can it be done one-handed?
 
I don't have the phone but usually you could assign double tap on home to be anything you want, including voice search. So turn it on, unlock, and just tap home twice?
 
You might want to try this:

In the tray along the bottom, leave google search as one of the four main apps that you can reach.

So when you unlock your phone, just drag google search to the ring and it will pop up. You'll have to hit the voice button to actually use voice commands, but at least you will be able to essentially search from the lock screen.
