Help Voice Search

I use voice search a lot. On the T-Bolt the default voice search brings up results from Music / Peep / Web Search (Google, Yahoo, Bing, Wiki)

I would like the search to go directly to a google search page. I don't need all those other results. Any thoughts?

Click to expand...

Just click the 'search button' (magnifying glass), click menu/settings, and then "Select Areas to search" then uncheck everything.

It defaults to Google Web search.
 
The screen to choose WHICH web service to use still comes up. I am trying to voice search directly to a google page, not having choose between bing, google, yahoo and wiki.

Any thoughts?

Not sure what's happening for you; after I've unchecked all areas to search, I hit the home key, then touch the "search button" again...it puts the text field at top where you enter your search term, then I hit the return key on the keyboard, or just touch the internet icon to the right of the text field and it takes me to Google.

There is no difference between this and Google search on other phones, except the screen that displays underneath it.
