The search bar has disappeared from the right side of the address bar. How do I replace it?
The reinstatement instructions provided for previous query two years ago are apparently not applicable to my Mac OS X 10.6.8. Help, please. I need to see my search bar to the right of the address/location bar. Thank you.

I am grateful, Wesley. Although I had been directed to the site you suggested, I had not thought to click "restore defaults," which immediately restored my search bar to its proper place. So simple but not so obvious to us Mac users over 60. Many thanks, Irene
