by Manish Singh on 13 February 2009


Frank Watson has noticed a change in the top search box of Gmail. The Search option is missing “Search Web” button!

Search Web Button is missing!

So, the Google has dropped the “Search Web” button and we can just search our mails through this search box :(

Don’t know if this change is permanent or not, but I will miss this button a lot. I should now customize my navigation toolbar and should add the search box there!

    Why did they remove the web search box? I just added a Google Search box myself by adding the following gadget to Gmail. You need to paste the following link in gmail’s settings to add a new gadget.

    Bring it back, pleeeeeease.

    Did you find a way to get your search box on your nav bar to open in a new window? If so, then it’s not that big of a deal… but I can’t find it.
