Where did my Google search bar go? I just updated safari.

I don't understand where the google search bar in the top right corner went. I just updated safari, and I'm already getting super annoyed that it's not there. Is it possible to get it back?

MacBook Air, iOS 5.1.1

There is one con that I have with this new way they have done it. With google search on the right I could type in stuff that was one the page I was looking at because sometimes things cannot be copied and pasted. Now when I go to type something the search bar, which is the whole lenght of the page now drops down in front of what I am trying to type and I can't see it.


Having the options always is a good answer to meeting everyones needs.

I wasn't happy with the change either because I thought there was an extra step created of going up to address bar and deleting current address, then typing in the new search. Just realized all you have to do is click on current address, it highlights, then start typing and current address disapears. Hope your day is good everyone.

The ONE thing I hate of this browser is that when I try to access servers on my intranet, I now HAVE to type 'http://' in front of the URLs. Otherwise Safari will think it's a Google search and input it into Google's search engine.


I am wondering how much information on the layout of internal networks of all these different companies Google is receiving right now. At least they now already know how our Perforce server, our Intranet server, and how our Docs server is called.


Besides, it makes me have to take more actions than less, and even have to switch between keyboard and mouse sometimes.


Really, how many people were complaining about the previous way it works? Less than the people who never complained? If so, then why change this whole functionality irreversably? Now Apple ****** off the majority of the people in favor of some minority of complainers. The previous way of working can have never been a showstopper for the people who couldn't handle it.


I don't understand the reasoning behind the choice at all.


If only a minority was complaining, then at the least make it switchable in the settings...


Enough ranting. But the implications for network security ARE real...

Thank you for the censoring. I'm not a native English speaker, but have seen a lot of Hollywood movies. So bad words slip through easily.
