The search operaters that Google uses can work from the Google search bar widget and from the quick search function.

hmmmm... is that from the genesis theme by shlayer? http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/slayher/2376-genesis-v1-1-a.html I dl'ed that an replaced the search widget from launcher pro with the one from that theme....

It's more a brushed metal look.
Can you post the dl link for the current theme you're using? I can drop that widget in there if you'd prefer that.
What I'm doing is pulling the search widget pngs from the theme and dropping them into launcher pro then resigning the apk. It's easy if you have the sdk setup, autosign and 7zip... but familiarity with image names and locations helps too.
I'm non rooted and was hoping to change the google search bar to something that matches a honeycomb theme? Can anyone help with this? Please pm me!
I see lots of people wanting to change the google bar colour ,I want the standard white google bar.
Is it possible to put the older style google search bar on ics software.I have downloaded some coloured ones from the play store which are the right style but the browser opens the same colour as the widget,hard on the eyes.
Changing the color should be as easy as changing the color of the graphics in the framework apk of whatever Rom you're on.

free app on the market for the widget
There is an app on the google play that helped me to get the transparent google widget, it is called custom ICS search widget and it works for android 4.4 kitKat.
Note: I am not associated with the app, just found it as a solution

[Q] Disabling Google Search Bar

Well i now know how to disable the search bar in ICS. When disable the bar, i was expecting to take advantage of the entire 4 ich screen but i cant. The space is blank and i cant put anything there. Is there a fix for this or a mod or something?
Not as of yet. Its just useless space. I'll let you know if I come across anything

You could try out Nova Launcher. Its a launcher that only works on ICS roms (including stock). It attempts to emulate the theme of the stock launcher while also being smoother and with some additional features added.
One of these features is the ability to remove the Google search bar so you can have an extra row available for icons and widgets.

default navigation app for note 8

Hi all

i had deleted it by mistake
can someone help to re install it again

Navigation is part of google maps, but since the last update there is no separate icon - just fire up maps, and click the navigate arrow on the search bar...

Remove google search in app drawer

Maybe a dumb question and I see a lot of people wanting the opposite but is there any way to get back the old behavior of the search bar in app drawer, so that it only searches for installed apps instead of searching the web and everything?
For "real" search I use the search bar on homescreen or assistant, but in app drawer it should only show installed apps.

You could use a third party launcher to get that functionality
