I used to have Google in my tool bar so I could easily go to another page and/or back to something else. Please could you good folks tell me how I do that?

What I want is to add it to the top tool bar as an extra if you like. So where the tool bar has things like "File - Edit - View - Favorites etc. just under that I did have another Google search bar...
[link not working]
Sorry, I can't seem to get my link to work. If you type 'google toolbar' in to Google images (https://www.google.co.uk/imghp?hl=en&tab=ii) can you see a picture of what you want?
From the box that appears drag the google search bar to an area next to the address bar.
Sorry if I've got the wrong end of the stick.....
Nope... doesn't mention anything about adding Google.
Sorry ...
Call me an hignoramouse..
What browser are you using?
In the box where you have your web address (www.whatever.com) try just typing anything in there, like 'pied piper', and hitting return...
Yes the URL address box in Chrome is called the Omnibox.
Go to settings > search > manage search engines > set Google as default.
Edit: ..or do you mean having a bookmarks bar.?
We don't know if the OP is using Chrome, though.
However, I've just checked in IE and even that will run a search if you just type something into the URL box so none of the three most used browsers (IE, Firefox and Chrome) actually need a Google search box in the toolbar anymore.
Agreed, they all do, including support for a bookmarks bar too. I was just giving an example with Chrome.
In Firefox, there is a small separate box in the right top corner for managing what search engine can be chosen.
Not sure if shirley222 knows what she wants.

Excuse me .. I DO know what I want!
I have the Google search as my main browser setting, what I want is the same thing (an extra if you like) put into my tool bar.
I used to have this and I could click on the arrow at the side of it and get a drop down history of everything I had been using which I could then go to which made a very quick short cut.
It ended with words "cancel all history" or something like that.
I'm guessing you're in IE with some kind of add-on but, again - what browser are you actually using?
Well....if you're using FF then it's left top and select "History".
ctrl+h puts up history
Yup, ctrl+h brings up history in IE, FF and Chrome, usefully...
Could you please tell us which browser you are using.....I.E, Chrome or Firefox....?
Just checked by adding Google Toolbar to IE and it does exactly what the OP has asked for (arrow next to search box showing search history). Link was provided in post #2 so I dunno if the OP has actually given it a go...
OP - go into Internet Explorer, click on this link: http://www.google.com/toolbar/ie/index.html install it and away you go...
... after installing you'll need to right-click on your IE toolbar and then click on Google Toolbar to see it, unless it loads up automatically on restarting IE...
Tool bar at the top reads:
"a wee house"- Square orange icon - Email icon - printer - Page - Safety - ? "icon" - K (keyboard icon) - Tools
..and that's it.
Maybe we will have more chance of helping you.
Sounds like the Menu bar shirley wants.
The menu bar is available in FF by right clicking on the add-on bar (if selected) at the bottom or if not ....in "Options".
Yup!! That'll be fine.
Not exactly what I meant but it does the job..thankyou!
P.S. Hope OP doesn't mean "Old Person"
Mind you .. not far wrong there anyway. (-:
