Ready? Set? Go!

SFTP into your N900 as root
Navigate to /usr/lib/hildon-desktop/
You should see a file called touchsearch.py, open it in a non-Windows specific editor (basically, anything other than Notepad)
Scroll down to line 369

You should see this:

Code:

      elif engine == "Google Maps":
         icon = gtk.gdk.pixbuf_new_from_file_at_size(d + "google_maps.png", 122, 40)
         #url = "http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&tab=wl&q=%s"
         url = "http://tomch.com/maemaps.html?from=%s&go=1"

Remove the pound sign in front of the:

Code:

#url = "http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&tab=wl&q=%s"

line, and place it in front of the other url = line.

It should look like this:

Code:

      elif engine == "Google Maps":
         icon = gtk.gdk.pixbuf_new_from_file_at_size(d + "google_maps.png", 122, 40)
         url = "http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&tab=wl&q=%s"
         #url = "http://tomch.com/maemaps.html?from=%s&go=1"

Save the file.

Reboot.

Viola!

(if you reboot and TouchSearch doesn't work, you can uninstall/reinstall and try again -- but I'm sure that won't happen

)
