Hi there

For some reason I managed to click on something that made the google search area on the toolbar disappear. How do I get it back?

I accidentally clicked some area that made the Google search part disappear on the toolbar.

This is what it currently looks like:

But I want it look like this:

Many thanks

right click in a blank area or one of the buttons and select customize, then you should be able to drag and drop it back where you want?

Someone else suggested that, saying click the search button and drag it back. but no search button showed up. I hit 'restore defaults' and everything returned to normal. I went to customize again and dragged the search into the area with all the icons and it came up with the search icon to drag back.

Maybe you inadvertently dragged it into the tab header bar or the menu to the top right (opens via the hamburger menu icon to the top right) - you can also drag stuff into there. Or maybe somewhere else. Or just a bug.

Ah well, at least it's fixed then :)
