I used to have a Google search bar right above my clock on my home screen but as of yesterday it is gone, and there is no widget available. Anyone know how to get it back, or why it happened in the first place?

Long ptess on any empty area of your phone screen and bring up the widgets, then go down the list and select the Google search widget and place it on the screen where you want it. You probably either accidentally moved it onto another screen or removed from the screen.

Go to the play store search for Google search and then download it. You may have accidentally uninstalled it. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox

Google has now introduced something called Gemini and the icon appeared after a recent samsung update. if you delete this or disable this icon then google search bar also vanishes. Hence enable this from your app settings and google search bar will appear
