Search button not launching Bing

[kaspaas]

I am having trouble with the search button on my new Lumia 800. The search button does not launch Bing Mobile when selected. Instead it launches IE9 and takes me to the Bing website which is just not cool. I don't know if there is a setting or something where this can be changed but I would like to use Bing Mobile. At the moment, Bing looks and works cooler on my iPhone than it does on my Lumia 800. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Where are you at? What is your region settings?

And have you tried turning it off and on again?

South Africa and the region settings are set for South Africa. I turned it on and off several times.

You need to go to region and languages and scroll to the bottom and change the browser and search language.

If the search language is not properly supported by the phone, it forces it to the browser.

This doesn't work for me. My search button opens an IE tab with a google search for {searchTerms}. Any suggestions??
