    Google Voice Search has disappeared!

    Did a factory reset and everything went well...except, I now cannot find Google Voice Search. The app shows in the Play Store as having been installed, and it also show in the 'manage apps' section. But there's no icon for it in my apps, and so I have no way to create a shortcut for it on my home page. Help!!!

    It looks like they took that actual app out of the app drawer. If you press the search button it will come up and you can just tap the mic button.

    Also you could make that your double tap home command by going into Settings>Accessibility>and scroll down to the bottom and choose Double tap home launch, make that voice search.

    Here's a workaround I think you'll find more than one use for...
    1. Download QuickShortcutMaker at Play
    2. Click the Activities tab
    3. In the Input keyword to filter box put: Voice
    4. Select Voice Search
    5. Try it out and/or rename it or just click OK
    Voila!

    Spot on! Followed your steps, then went into the widgets section of the app tray and there it was.
