Hi, did you check google now settings? It could just a setting issue, have a look.

Frankly I have no idea, it seems that it is not possible within the app. However, I believe there are apps which can re-assign the button function, check out Google Play store.

The other overkill option is to disable Google Now.

Double tap home button = Recent Task Killer

Hold down home button = Google search

I think you just cannot do that.

Exactly, not within the Google Now settings, but possible with another app.
