I cannot get the search bar to send me to the mobile version of Google. Tried the suggestion above, but it was no go... Would love to figure this out, although I'm probably getting 3G iPhone pretty soon :P This is a very old thread, but it’s the only one I’m finding that discuss the same problem I’m having.

Switching from mobile to classic to mobile doesn't help. This seems to have started after update 1.1.3 was installed, at least for me. Anyone find a real fix yet? Having same issue.

That was true at one time and built Google their loyal following, but nowadays Yahoo! challenges them neck and neck. While Google might still have a slight advantage in regular web searches, Yahoo's mobile One Search brings far more relevant results for mobile phone searches.

However, when I use the Safari search, Google results show in the standard format. @Paul You can get to the image search in mobile ;) Okay, I think I've figured it out -- I had to switch back to classic and then back to mobile <b>again</b> to get it to start searching with mobile results. I don't know how I got that messed up... thanks for the tips. @Jeremy and Scott

You can't switch to normal view from result page. You have to navigate to google.com/m and tap "Classic" at the bottom (not visible when browsing reults). Why would you do that, you may ask? One day I had to search for some pictures (nud... ekhm... some car I mean) and you can't do that with mobile Google. Take care.
