In OS X mountain lion, in Safari, the search bar is now missing, how can I get it back?

In OS X mountain lion, in Safari, the search bar is now missing, how can I get it back? My wife likes both the URL window and the search bar at the top of the page. How can I get the separate Google search bar at the top and keep the URL window too?

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion, Safari 6.0

It's now combined with the URL window. Both functions/ 1 bar.

I'm willing to bet that, if you type "apple", the first entry on the search results will be www.apple.com. All you need do is click on it. Ok, one extra click from what you used to do, but, I suspect with time, you will be able to get used to it.


If you keep typing all those random asterisks in the address bar, it may confuse things though.
