Haaaaa. Love this:
http://policyblog.verizon.com/BlogPost/686/UseBingOrAnySearchEngineFromYourVZWBlackberry.aspx
Verizon Wireless is
passionate about ensuring consumer choice in the wireless sector.
Customers still have all
the choices they did before. Verizon offers many ramps onto the
Internet, including all search engines.
If you love Google and
don't want to use Bing, there are great options:
1) You can "mask" or hide
the Bing icon from the webpage. Easy to do.
2) If you want to continue
using Google or other search engines as an option, just:
* Perform the search from the provider’s web page (i.e. www.google.com,
www.wikipedia.com, www.dictionary.com).
* Set the web pages as
bookmarks in the browser.
3) You can download the
free Google search client from Blackberry's Appworld and put it right on your
homepage.
4) You can go to Google.com and push a link to your phone. From there, you
download the app from
Google. http://www.google.com/mobile/products/search.html#p=default
Choice is yours. Verizon
isn't blocking or degrading anything; just providing a great option for
customers.

If you go into the browser options, browser configuration and switch to the
internet browser, it should allow you to change the default search provider.
This should change it in the BES browser as well. (unless something is very
different in the 9650)

I'm pretty sure I killed Bing in the Advanced Options. You can download
some Google front ends in the App World.
