I can't add the google search window to my toolbar?

I recently upgraded to the Mountain Lion OS X 10.8
In Safari, I am unable to customize my toolbar with the google search window.  I was successful in dragging the other buttons.  I don't have a search window on the toolbar and it is very frustrating.

Apple moved it into the address bar.

    I lost the Google search window and don't know how to get it back, can someone tell me how?

    Depending on which version of Safari you are running the search is as Thomas states. The address bar is the search and address bar on Safari 6. Prior to that, one of two things will get it back.
    First is going up to the menu bar and choosing View>Show Toolbar. If it says "Hide Toolbar", then this isn't the issue and the toolbar is already present.
    Second. Assuming the first step didn't fix the issue, you can go again to the menu bar and choose View>Customize Toolbar. Inside the window that opens you should see a google search that you can drag and place back where it used to be on the toolbar area. Then just press "Done".

  • Can't get the Google search box in toolbar

    I've been working on getting my new iMac 27" with Mountain Lion functional, and now I've run into a problem I don't seem to find others are having -- I can't get the Google search box into the toolbar. It just won't go there. I've dragged the thing from the View>Customize Toolbar, and I've also tried dragging the whole toolbar, and nothing sticks. I get a little green plus symbol, as if it's adding it to the toolbar, release, and then...nothing. As much as I like Duck Duck Go, there are still things I need the old Goog for, and I'm bewildered by why this won't stick. There don't seem to be any actual settings for it either, just the drag and drop.
    This whole setup has been beyond frustrating. I wish I'd never upgraded.

    Apple combined Google search bar with URL address bar in Safari 6.
    Apple calls it Smart Search Field.
    There is no more a separate search field. You enter the Google search in the unified address bar.
    Best.

    You can't. It's now integrated with the URL bar. It's a search/URL combo.

  • I can't edit the google search bar since ios 6 upgrade

    Since upgrading my iPhone 4S to iOS 6 I can't edit the search bar in google (via Safari).  I.e I used to be able to do a search then hold my finger over the text I just entered and the magifier would appear and I'd be able to edit that text (to correct a spelling mistake for example).
    If I use Yahoo or Bing, I can edit the search bar as I've always been able to do.  It's just google.  I don't mind using another search engine, but it's niggling me as to why this has happened.
    Incidently, I tried the same thing on my son's iPhone 4 with iOS 6 and it works fine.  I've since done a full system erase and restore and the problem remains!

    Same here -- two iPhone 5's and an iPhone 4S.  The search box on the bottom of the page works OK, though.

  • Can I change the Google search bar on the Mozilla Firefox Start Page to direct searches to google.co.uk, as it currently directs me to google.fr and I do not speak French (even though I live here!).

    I like the Mozilla Firefox Start Page and I do find Google fairly useful (albeit that I have dumped Chrome for Firefox due to Google's constant badgering to sign-up to their social network "circles" etc) - but my gripe is that I am redirected to google.fr NOT google.co.uk (my 1st preference) or google.com (2nd preference). Yes, I am located in France. No, I am not French and most of the information I am looking for is contained on UK or US web pages. I found the same problem with the provided Google search engine in the top right bar, so removed it in favour of Yahoo (which I am not a fan of either!). Any advice would be gratefully received. Thx.

    Many thanks for the prompt reply, ideato.
    One of the reasons I abandoned Chrome in favour of Firefox was due to the "black band of doom" that appears on the top of the Google page - so setting up my homepage to google.co.uk just puts that back in the ugly spotlight.
    I was, though, pleasantly surprised to see a Google search bar on the Mozilla Firefox Start Page (without the black band and Google options that I am just not interested in) but bitterly disappointed that it is Google.fr (due to my ISP being French).
    I shall learn to live with Yahoo (or worse case scenario, Bing!)

  • I can't get the Google Search App to work.

    My Google Search App was working fine on my iPad mini. Then I installed Chrome and didn't synch it right off the bat. Chrome works fine but now Google Search App won't let me log in or work. I've tried deleting it/reinstalling it and rebooting my iPad mini. What else should I try?

    Shut down and restart the app...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Tap and hold any icon until they wiggle
    - Press the red (-) to delete the offending app from this list.
    - Press the home button twice when done.
    - Restart the app

  • Any way to have the URL field without the Google search window?

    It would be great if someone had made a Safari Extension that only showed the URL field and not the Google/Yahoo field.  Has anyone seen this? I found an extension for DuckDuckGo which I like.    This is on Safari for the Mac on 10.7.1 and 10.6.2 on two of my machines that I'd like that to be added. Also if there is a PicSearch plugin that would be great.  I'm trying to get rid fo all the cookie based search engines now that Google has changed their privacy policy, and I don't like Yahoo's either.

    Nondisclosure statement would suggest that would not even be something anyone would know if it is a feature or not. Unless it is up on Apple's website.  Did you see something mentioned on Apple's website? Also, I'm going to have to wait to see if I need new hardware for it. I'm still dependent on MacBook Pro 3,1 and iMac 5,1.

  • I have lost my url type in window to go to new sites and I have also lost the google search on the right side

    ''locking as a duplicate - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/855147''
    url bar is gone, along with the google search window, I have tried control click in the header space, along with command click, nothing works.

    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
    * If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    * If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

  • Google search window disappeared

    My Mac-neophyte father tells me that the Google search window has recently disappeared in Safari. Any suggestions on how to get it back? Unfortunately, I forgot to ask him which OS he's using.
    TIA,
    Nick D.

    Nick,
    Have him open Safari>View>Customize Toolbar...>then "Drag your favorite items into the toolbar..."Address and Search"
    ;~)

  • Is there a way to add a google search tab to the safari window interface in ios7?, is there a way to add a google search tab to the safari window interface in ios7?

    Is there a way to add a google search tab to the safari window interface in i0s7?

    You can't add icons to Safari on iOS devices. You can set google as your default search engine for Safari via Settings > Safari > Search Engine - the URL field acts as both URL and search on iOS 7

  • How can I get the cursor to appear in the main search window on the Google home page by default?

    The cursor in my Firefox appears in the address bar. I would like it to appear by default in the main search window on my default home page, Google.com. How?

    This is all very Greek to me. Is it really this hard just to get the cursor to appear in the main search window when Google.com is one's default home page?
    I don't really know much about Firefox extensions. My list includes Adblock Plus 1.3.8; Duplicate This Tab 1.2; Java Console 6.0.25; Java Quick Starter 1.0; Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant 0.0.0; New Tab Homepage 0.4.3. Nothing unusual is indicated for either Java item, Console having been updated 4/27/2011.
    What to do next?
    Thank you.

  • How can i replace the default search engine (Yahoo...) with Google, when I write a word at the address line?

    I recently installed FireFox on my new pc. Whenever I type a word, for example a name of a website, I get the yahoo search resault, instead of what I had before - to enter directly to the site, or in some cases - get the Google search results.
    I would like to be able to type the website name (for example - "filefactory"), and become directed to the site itself, as it was with the previous version that I had in my former pc.
    Thanks...

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    You can modify the pref <b>keyword.URL</b> on the <b>about:config</b> page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or Google's "Browse By Name".
    * Google "I'm Feeling Lucky": http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=

  • Can the Google search box in Safari be made to use the UK Google search page?

    I've only just realised, (after nearly eight months of Mac ownership!), that my Google search results seem to be rather US-oriented.
    I think this is because the search box in Safari, which I do have set to Google as my default, is using the US Google.com search engine instead of the Google.co.uk one.
    Am I correct in thinking this? And, if I am, is there any way of tweeking Safari to use the UK version please?
    I'm using Safari 5.0.5

    If you want to fix your Google search to a specific Google location, I recommend that you download and install the free plug-in Glims:
    http://www.machangout.com/
    which not only does that but much more equally useful stuff! Such as enabling Safari to run full-screen, and more.)
    (It adds items to Safari Preferences).
    Not only does it already list a number of search engines and regions, but you can also add any other search engine not already listed in Glims by using the method described here:
    http://www.machangout.com/tutorials/addsearchengine
    Just enter the name you give the search engine in the name field, and the URL for it in the Query URL field.
