BASED ON OUT DATED BETA

Is there support for the Search Button yet in WinPhone 7 sdk?

I can't find it, nor anything info on it. Just thought someone might know.

As far as I know, there is no way for a Windows Phone application to intercept key presses on the Search button.

    Indeed the Search is not supported for Third-party applications in the Windows Phone 7 initial release - however it may be added in a future update. – RoguePlanetoid May 09 '10 at 20:59
  • http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh202889%28v=VS.92%29.aspx#sectionToggle3 says "Search is built into the hardware and software of every Windows Phone. Developers cannot modify or change the behavior of the hardware Search button; when pressed, it will always launch the Bing search experience for the user to find content from anywhere on the device." – bovine Aug 22 '11 at 20:28
  • This is really a joke. You't override the Search action to search local content in your app? – Tawani Mar 26 '13 at 17:11
