Hi, all. I'm a Lumia 1520 owner, just updated it to Cyan yesterday.
I find that the search button no longer open the traditional(the one in 8.0 Black) bing search UI, that was stunning fast and specifically designed for phone, with daily pictures. Now it directly launch IE11 and open the bing homepage for PC. Mine is a HongKong CV phone, and my region is not set to USA, so no Cortana and I have no interest in trying Cortana atm. How to restore the old-beloved bing search UI? Or it's no longer available? Too sad to know this...

Very very weird. Even if you disable Cortana, you should see the old Bing search page. I have never seen a case where the search key brings up the browser. Does changing your default search engine from IE change anything?

I just try change the default search engine to Google, and the search button launch IE too, but open google mobile homepage instead.

I've found the solution, I just change the region and it's fixed, the old-style bing search page is back, no longer launch IE.
