Has your Android phone changed so you now have this stupid Google search bar at the bottom of your screen? I actually like the Google search bar, but I like mine in the middle of the screen where I can actually type easily. You can't move this screen no matter how much you drag it. Let's change it right now. I'm going to show you how to remove the Google search bar from your home screen and how to add a new Google search bar anywhere that you want on your homepage. So, first let's get rid of this. First thing we need to do is to tap anywhere on a blank area of the homepage. You might need to swipe to an empty screen to actually find somewhere to long press. Then down here on the bottom right hand side, it says settings. We're going to click on settings. And if I scroll down, we're going to look for this option here, show search on home screen. Tap on that. And on this screen, we have two options, search and finder. You can toggle these on and off. Obviously, we're going to toggle off search. Then, if I go back to the home screen, you can see that the Google search bar has gone. So, now I want to add it to the middle of the screen. Well, you could do this anywhere you want on your home screens. So, I'm going to long press anywhere on the homepage. And then we're going to look for this option at the bottom here, widgets. Now, we need to look for the app to give us the Google search bar. So, you need to look for Google. And when you click on the Google option, you'll see these different widgets. We want the widget that looks like this one, the 4x1 search bar. Now, this has put the search bar very helpfully on my very last home screen. I don't want that. So, if I long press on the Google search bar, I can drag it back to my home screen and put it anywhere I want. I want it here in the middle. And I'm really pleased that doing it this way has made it big and white. It's a lot easier to see now. Congratulations. We have now added the Google search bar to our Android homepage.
