Hi,

Can anyone help, I use IE and used to have a google search just under where it says favourites, suggested sites etc but it has disappeared, can anyone tell me how to get it back on?

Thanks

    Right click on the bar next to Help and you should see a menu appear with google toolbar unticked, click on at and it should appear again

    Which version of Internet Explorer are you using?
    IE8 has a built in search box that you can use with a variety of engines, Bing, Google etc
    That gum you like is coming back in style.
