Bing search is back in place of cortana

Has anyone else noticed that Cortana isn't being opened by the search key today? I'm on ATT in the US. When I push the search key it brings the old Bing search up, I also had some strange battery drain this morning for about an hour.

Nope, its likely just you.

Have you tried launching the Cortana app and seeing if it complains about anything like location being off?

Cortana is there, but the location, direction and various things aren't there. Also the her cute answers are gone, our questions are just searched on Bing by her and her robotic voice is back.

That's what it was! Thanks. I forgot that I was trying to figure out the reason my phone was heating up and in doing so I turned off location. I didn't realize Cortana wouldn't even launch without location. Thanks again!
