hey guys,

just updated my HTC desire to froyo.

so far im loving the chrome2phone features and the wonders of mobile hotspot..

everything seems faster in rendering and processing.

also im using dolphin browser and its a great browser compare to our stock .
1 word- tabs...

ok just wanna share 1 noticible difference that kinda made me disappointed.

our search button.

back in 2.1

our search button searches everything .. from people contact, internet, maps, music etc..

now the search button only limited to well even tho there are 3 options

All, Web, App

if u choose web, it searches the web..
if u choose App, it goes to market app
if u choose All, it just went to the web ...

now if i want to search for people contact. i have to open people app then click the search button.

if i want to search something in my email, i have to open mail app then click the search button...

seriously, tho 2.2 is really impressive witht the features...

losing the old search functionality is ... well i have to click twice to get to what i want...
now 2.2.....people app> search button=profit
then 2.1.....search button= profit..

is there a fix for this ? just wondering if people know..

thanks.
