I just read through the Mobile Browser Comparison here on XDA and noticed that one of the points for Opera Mobile over IE was Integrated Google Search.
Perhaps this is not well know, but IE has the option of integrated Google search as well.....
Internet Explorer 6 Mobile - Integrated Google Search
By default Microsoft configured IE6 to use Bing as the default search engine.
*note: Prior to WM 6.5.3, m.live.com was used, but it now re-directs to m.bing.com anyway.
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"AutoSearchProvider"="http://m.bing.com/Search/Results.aspx?mid=8002&lc=en-us&q="
Example:
Type 'xda forum' in the address bar and then enter and you will see that after a short timeout (once IE determines that 'xda forum' is not a valid address) it will show the search results using Bing.

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Making the change
This is easily changed to Google by modifying this registry entry....
Mobile Format:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"AutoSearchProvider"="http://www.google.com/m?source=hp&hl=en&q="
Classic Format:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"AutoSearchProvider"="http://www.google.com/search?source=hp&hl=en&q="
To avoid waiting for IE to determine that your search terms are not a valid address, simply choose ' Search for "......." ' from the drop down menu that appears as you type....
I have included CABs which will make the change for you if you feel uncomfortable making the registry changes yourself.
Finally, if you like using the default home page included with Windows Mobile (\windows\iemo6_default_0409.htm - depends on language and often changed by OEMs and cooks), I have included an updated version of iemo6_default_0409.htm that uses Google instead of Bing.

Great tip! Slight caution to check the exact original registry entry in your version of IE Mobile. For Search Page I had to put "%s" at the end of the "q="

Thanks for this.

Thank you Szczepanik, but the registry entry that you posted is actually for a different value.
Notice that my cab sets the value for "AutoSearchProvider" not "Search Page".
"AutoSearchProvider" was added in WM 6.5 and is part of the browsingie package that was not included in WM 6.1.
For cooks, "AutoSearchProvider" is set set in \SYS\browsingie\***.rgu.
"Search Page" is no longer used in WM 6.5, but is set in \SYS\Browsing_Lang_0409\***.rgu
Default values for WM 6.5.3 (as per 0409 SDK)
Search Page - no longer used
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"Search Page"="http://m.live.com/search/Results.aspx?q=%s&mid=8001"
AutoSearchProvider
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"AutoSearchProvider"="http://m.bing.com/Search/Results.aspx?mid=8002&lc=en-us&q="
pretty slick. I like that. Sure would make for google searches rather then waiting for the google page to open up and screwing with the input box.
yes, I like it. I just tap the address bar. Type my search terms, hit up and then enter and it searches immediately.

Looks promising. I will test and report back later. Thanks
how can i add my language letter scroll bar on the left (hebrew) to reach my contacts?
Hi roisagi.
Latest version only supports in English and Japanese.
Language cannot add.
Thanks.
This looks a lot like iContact.. Did you use their open source code?
the official link for the website is down
Hi Floxzie.
No, I do not use iContact source code.
This source code is completely our original.
The touch feeling is so different.
PCM and iContact are freely and really usefull ... Why a shareware ? So it's your choice ...
Hi Caramel.
If the difference is not felt, it is not worth shareware.

Hi everyone,
Is there anyway to install the OLD version of Internet Explorer (the one that came with WM 6) in the new 6.5? I am actually hoping for a side-by-side install.
Before you all think I am crazy… here is the deal.
I am a software developer and have a number of highly functional web applications (for entering orders, invoices, etc - see screen shots) that integrate with a number of popular ERP systems.
However, some of them are breaking in the new IE6. I cannot afford to not be able to demo these apps.
Best regards,
The Fish

Here is a cab file IE6. Credit goes to vin255764. I found this on one of the threads over at PPCGEEKS.
Does anyone know how i can install this and the newer version that came with 6.5 together? I tried installing this cab and it removed IE6 and replaced it with 5.
The reason i want both is that for most of the sites I look at I absolutely HATE having no "fit to one column" feature so i can only scroll vertically.
Thanks
In case anyone was interested, the above CAB file only sets one registry key to "0" (to switch to IE5 mode) or "1" to switch to the new IE6 (as in WM6.5).
The key is:
HKLM\Security\Internet Explorer
"MSHTML" = 0 or 1
Just kill the Iexplore.exe task and rerun it to run in the new mode!
You could even create two mort scripts that each have its own shortcut, and depending on which shortcut you launch, will have mortscript change this reg key and then launch IE in that mode.
P.S. A BIG thank you goes out to microsoft for adding this backwards-emulation to the new IE6 - great work!

Anyone know how to change the default Google search on the TF3D internet tab from google.com/m to google.co.uk/m or google.co.uk? Is this a registry editor tweak as I can't find where to change it in the opera:config tweak?
Thanks.

This is not a registry setting, but set in the default htm-file loaded by Opera upon start: \windows\htc-opera.htm
Edit the file to the URL you want to have the search done:
[line 46]:
<form action="http://www.google.com/search?q=" method="get">
to e.g:
<form action="http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=" method="get">
ATT: the file is write protected, so you'll have to remove this before editing.
MeCry
Umm, its a registry edit for me.
HKCU/Software/HTC/Manila
dword=InternetSearchUrl
to get it to what you want, put in the url you want in your PC browser, search for something, & then get copy whatever url it has. For instance, I have mine set the cab i made to go to "http://www.google.com/m/search?q=". that way it just adds whatever you search for on to the end of that string & inputs it to Opera.

Yes perfect!
I've been looking through the registry and the .hmt files for days.
Now finally the O2 start page is gone!
THX!
On the Verizon Touch Pro 2 you will need to use the registry editor of your choice and go to registry key:
HKCU/Software/HTC/Manila
dword=InternetSearchUrl
"The registry is in the \\Plugins folder at the top of the root directory" Just hit the \ button at the top right of Total Commander til you see the directory then click on the directory and then the Registry directory in it.
Replace the bing.com in this key:
www.bing.com/search?q=%s
with the search engine of your choice.
For the mobile formatted Google it would look like this:
http://www.google.com/m/search?q%s
For the desktop formatted Google it would be:
http://www.google.com/search?q%s
Mobile Google looks much cleaner and it is the one I suggest. This should work for pretty much any search engine though, for the two people still using Yahoo and Ask.
Do not forget the %s at the end. It is needed on this phone or it will only bring up the search engine without the search.
This will change the search from within the Touchflo search box and the search box in the stock built in Opera Browser. I did not try Internet Explorer or any other browsers but suspect they would require a different registry key to be changed.
Hello,
Is there a parameter to pass ":MSCONTACTS" to go directly to an individual contact? I'm interested in adding start menu shortcuts for some of my favorite contacts. Thanks in advance...
As far as I know there's no direct way to launch a contact. However I'm currently working on a new version of Taskbar launcher which allows to launch contacts directly. I also can easily add a command line parameter so you can launch your contacts through a link....
When you use WM 6.5's "search" program, you can parse through and launch contacts individually, so I'm sure there's a way to do it. I just don't know how it does what it does....
You can connect to POutlook, parse through contacts and call the Show() function and you see the original contact dialog. At least that's how I do it in my app and let me guess: search function is doing just the same. I don't think you can do this through a simple :MSCONTACTS command line parameter....
this might help

Create a direct link for a certain telephone nr/sms/mms/email/more..
In a way it's easy. Start reading a thread I created specific for it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623195
In short, start a text editor (no unicode) like notepad and type ;
39#"\Windows\cprog.exe"-url tel:0123456789
where 0123456789 = any telephone number.
Make sure you press the ENTER key after your phone nr. and before saving the file!
Give it a name. Rename the file from YourContactName.txt to YourContactName.LNK (capitals are not nessecary, it's just for clarity).Another example;
Direct SMS (I called it SMS2.lnk);
51#"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to "" -body ""
I've been amazed too...! Once. Now I have MortScripts with icons

I wonder, if this could work with 6.5.x..
@Senax
With your approach you can directly call a hard coded number or send message, right!? With the method I'm using however you can directly open the contact page for a particular person, see the contact picture and choose whether you want to make a call, write message or email etc.
I mean this one:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
go2contact is what you want. It's a really cool, tiny, super fast cmd app.
I added a dynamic contact shortcuts page to my HS++ theme (I can manage them on-the-fly in the Today screen) by means of Mortscripts that use go2contact and ContactRetriever (this last conponent is C# which makes this process slower... but it seems like Cyclone is learning C++ so there may be a faster version ).

Keep the great work, cheers....
Great app! Will test asap
Yeah, good job. Works flawlessly on my phone (Xperia X1, WM 6.1) with Opera Mobile 10.
Amazing work buddy. Works perfectly on Opera Mobile 10 on TG01. I saved the file to my Opera Mobile 10 folder in Program Files.
Always wondered what opera:config was all about. Know of a way to enable word prediction in Opera? Only seemed to work in older versions of Opera.
