7.8 Adds GOOGLE as the default search provider?!?!?!?

Okay, this is really interesting, since WP8 doesn't even have it. YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR SEARCH ENGINE TO GOOGLE!!! Wow... Check out the video at the 2:48 mark.

You think WP8 will get this in Apollo+? And btw, I like bing more than google, so it doesn't matter for me.

Edit: Okay, windows phone 8 has it.

You can do it in WP8, in fact you could do it even at launch with WP7, just go to Settings>Applications>Internet Explorer>Advanced Settings>Search Provider.

The search button behavior won't change, it will always map to the Bing App, just the behavior when type a search query into the address bar of IE

WP 8 has this too. But when you hit the search button you still get Bing.

Should be removed in the next update seeing as google doesnt want to be on Windows Phone...

If you have WP Root Tools you can do this on 7.5
