    Had installed Google Now, reversed install but lost search widget.

    So now I don't know how to get the widget back. It's not in the widgets section of the app tray.

    Did an FDR since but the widget didn't return.

    Does anyone know how get the on-screen Google search widget back?

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

    Thanks!

    What exactly am I looking for? I need the same thing.

    I installed the leaked OTA JB update for the Droid Razr and I removed the widget that was there from Motorola - with Gingerbread. I want the Voice Actions back. I'd like to be able to say "CALL <so and so>" and make the phone do that. or "NAVIGATE TO <place>" but Google Now won't do it.

    Thank you

    I went into settings > Accessibility > "Double tap home" and set it to launch voice commands.

    Just hold your finger on the widget and then remove it.

    It's not a widget on jb. I've tried removing it that way. I think it might be part of Google Now? Pressing and holding only opens Google, unlike a normal shortcut/widget where you can then move it around/delete it from the screen

    Do you mean this??



    That's a part of Google Now and as far as I am aware, no, it can't be removed.
