Cortana is working outside USA - if you were set to USA before update - you will need to hard reset, change region to USA and phone language to USA.

Don't Hard reset your phone you don't need to hard reset the phone mine was set to english uk for the update then I changed the all the settings mentioned by hermantj to english us and works great....

Other settings? as in Application settings? If so nothing in there, just the usual IE, maps, messaging, etc...
It did a phone update after I changed region and language. No Cortana in the apps.

What are we safe to revert back to afterwards? Keyboard and regional settings?

Fixed & I'm very happy & pleased with this upgrade so far. The Droid & IOs users aren't so happy in my Department with me showing off WP8.1. lol

To get Cortana working you need to (non US)...

1. go to settings then select language (if you have English US make sure it is listed at the top of the list, you need to long press it and choose move up if it is at the bottom, if you only have one language then you don't need to bother moving it, if you don;t have English US then select add languages and choose English US).. if it doesn't work you may need to delete the English US and add it again selecting add languages you will be asked if you want to install the language just say install or ok, also it should look something like this (RESTART PHONE)

English (United States)
Phone Language: enabled
Regional format: enabled
Speech: enabled
Keyboard: english

2. go to settings and then select region and change country/region to United States and you must also set regional format to United States (RESTART PHONE)

3. go to settings and then select speech and then select speech language and change to English United States (RESTART IF NEEDED)

then restart the phone and Cortana should be working great with the search button

I can't install Cortana on 8X as well. The problem I see is that I can't have English (US) as my phone's language & I really don't know how to set it. There must be a bug or something...

Settings: Language
En (US)
Regional format:enabled
Speech: Enabled
Keyboard: English

EN (UK)
Phone language : Enabled
Keyboard: English

I can't remove EN UK from there...grrrr
