Google search bar gone

[hcpitney416]

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.

There is no more "google" anymore

Is this what you mean? The widgets?

Sorry i only took a glance at you very long screen shot and thought you were in the settings, not the widgets. You will have to re downliad Google search

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

Omg somehow I had disabled Google and so nothing related to Google was showing up (the widgets, Google discover and Gemini)
All has been resolved so thankful!!
