On the google search bar or the google now bar. I can enter text but not able to use the enter key aka (search key) the text to search. Anyone have this issue as well?

I think I have a similar issue. I am able to search after a reboot but after a while it stops working. I think there is a problem with cached processes. Try going to settings > apps > cached processes and stopping the Google Search process. Things should start working. It's not an ideal fix though. Hopefully it's a fixable software bug. I've submitted a bug report to Google so maybe you should try as well?

Thanks for the reply. Your solution actually works and hopefully this gets fix.

No problem. As I said, it's not an ideal issue but neither is it a total deal breaker. I wouldn't RMA the phone for such I thing I don't think. It obviously seems like a software problem so I sent through a bug report using the feedback function on the phone itself. Maybe if it's a widespread thing Google can actually take an active look at it and release a fix. to my unqualified mind it seems like there is a problem putting apps into the cached process. I've noticed with more experimenting that the search function seems to stop only after swiping the app away from the multi tasking tray...Seems as though the system is having trouble storing Google Search in cached processes.
Of course, I am not a proper developer so I could be totally wrong.
I'm glad the temporary fix works for you also!

This will come in time my friend.. With higher root comes higher privilege that we can take advantage of, or HTC finally realizes and updates our devices with an option to enable / disable

Not without root access.
Why do people think the genius button is so horrible? Its helluva lot more useful than regular search, you would know if you actually tried it out.

I wish I could customize it to launch vlingo instead. Genius doesn't even have a navigate command. I would use it, but it starts way slower than vlingo and isn't as accurate.

I have used it. I like Google Search better. That and I get better results with Google Voice Search.

It's called choice. I don't want it for search at all. There are other apps that can take advantage of the search button on every other device except the Slide and the MT4G. Options are always a good thing.

+1 to map it to Vlingo instead...I wonder if I can setup a Tasker profile to do this? The "Genius" button so far is the only thing that has ever caused my phone to crash and reboot...
i love the genius button. i use it all the time plus there are navigation options in it. i use it all the time. it asked for an address and i said mine and it did great and had no errors reading what i said. or i can say a place i wanna find and it shows me ones around me then i click on it and click nav and its good to go. i love how it reads my text messages and i can say a text message and it does really good with picking up what i said with out having errors or not putting in words i didnt say.
Have you guys tried downloading Google Search or any other app that uses the search button?
Maybe that applicatino that allows you to launch anything with the search key.

This may not be the correct place, but I figure one of the devs may know the answer.
On the Atrix 2, from the (stock) homescreen, I press the apps button and my apps show as normal. Usually, from there, I can press search and type "market" and market will show. This works for all my installed apps. However, recently, when I press search from app drawer, the whole home screen force closes.
Any ideas?
Thanks

@ Any Moderators, Please move thread to appropriate section.
Same on mine using the stock home. However when I switch to ADW ex home, it works fine.
Rooted v2.3.6
This needs to be moved to the general section.

Will I be able to "app search" by hitting the search button once I'm in the ADW launcher's drawer?

Kind of. When you press the search key in ADW's app drawer, it takes you to the Google Search application, where you can change what you search for in the settings.
This is apparently an issue with a recent Google Search update. This is a rather widespread issue with all Blur devices if you have the latest Google Search installed from the market. Thekooliest over at Atrix Forums found a bit on Droid-Life about it. I however do not know if there is a fix for the A2 for it. Try uninstalling the Google Search update.

Thanks i was having the same problem this worked great
Hi I'm facing a few issues as follow:
Unreliable Google now app search function - sometimes typing an app name doesn't cause any app to appear.
No sharing function after taking screenshots using long press method - allows you to edit and draw on the picture but unable to share straight from it.
Buggy recent apps menu - sometimes when pressing on one of the recent app, the click doesn't register and it takes me to a random app instead.
Anybody face similar issues?

Yeah, I've been using Open Mic +. It's pretty good and no need to use a different launcher. You can also customize it instead of saying "Ok Google." I just changed my activation word to "Google" and it automatically opens up Google Search and listens to what you want to say. Pretty convenient. You can turn it off and on. Just google it. I believe it's also in the play store.

Very minimal if any drain. I'm actually using the 2.4 version. 3.5 is the latest, and I'm not sure how good that one is, but I've had no issues with mine. Also, people complaining about slow start up time isn't true. The 3-5 seconds it takes is only when you first start the app. After that, every time you say your hotword, it opens up quite fast and ready to listen. That's for 2.4 at least. I'm sure 3.5 has to be better.

Freeze Google search maybe?
Just my first thought. Or use a different launcher.

Use this app

Easiest solution I've found.
It doesn't get rid of the ring but you can set to launch nothing.
