Google search widget

[TonyStark00]

I'm not able to add google search widget since 2 weeks. Am I the only one who's having this issue ?

Can you not see a search widget in widget list under google?

[TonyStark00]

It's listed in widgets, problem is It's not appearing when I add it to homescreen. Looks like I'm not the only one with this issue

Do you know exactly how to add widget in home screen because majority of peoples not getting this issue.

I had the same issue, on S22 Ultra...the problem was that I selected it but didn't appear on the home but now working
But before I had the option to customize but now it's gone but weirdly it remained the old customization)))
It remained pink as I had costumized when was not working to add on the home, and now is missing the setting button which was there by which you were choosing color, transparency and angles

If u r using the useless One UI Home launcher...In home settings please check whether lock home screen n hide apps settings are on

For some reason even if u dont use that launcher and disabled it...after recent 5.0 update its surfaced and sneaking into unwelcomed territory. Classic Samsung behaviour

Facing this issue on my S22, whenever I try to place the search bar widget it redirects me to search bar customisation and then does nothing!
