I was wondering the same thing........not that I know of. I resorted to making a google bookmark of the classic page with a N900 search so it loads in classic with the latest n900 results. I also save a bookmark to my desktop of my igoogle page.
As far as forcing the blue G search to look for classic, I think all a coder (i.e. not me) would do is find the init string/html link to that button and change it to default to google classic.
But what do I know about anything lol.....

You could use TouchSearch instead >> http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Maemo5/touchsearch/
Although the author has configured a Google search using a registered API.
You can set up your own searches to return results in whatever way you initiated them during set-up.
In addition to his, I set up two of my own. A full Classic Google search that I call "WEB" in TouchSearch. And one I initiated with the N900's Google widget that I call "Mobile" in TouchSearch.
I can easily switch between the two from this app's desktop widget and no longer need the Google widget that came with the N900.

I believe you can get HideUserAgent from the App. Manager and use it to change the user agent to some kind of desktop web browser, so that google and other websites will automatically display desktop versions of their websites.

I changed mine to Google UK as I am in Qatar and do not like having to change to english whenever I open the web browser. Hope this helps.

Go into the web browser.
Type in 'about:config'
Notice the 'here be dragons' warning, and promise that you'll be careful.
Click in the filter box at the top and type 'google'
You're looking for the keyword.URL preference.
Enable the microb mouse cursor by sliding in from the left
Use your stylus to double-click the value of that preference and change it to something like
For the full UK google site.
Click 'Done'
Preferably keep something about nokia and maemo in there so they know we're using it
