Does anyone have a solution for this.
When I go into google now, I can't search my contacts or apps, or anything on my phone.
I'm completely stock.
Here is screen shot of the phone search settings.
Solved by finding a slightly newer version of the Google search apk, and installing it.

I was fooling around and was trying to get the hotword to function on my stock Xoom with JB. I installed a apk from the Galaxy S3 forum about Sprint's update killing the google search box. Which I now have but it has killed my google now search capabilities the mic no longer shows at the top of the right hand side and I can not slide up from the home button to start it either. It is also gone from the launch screen where I could choose from camera, google and system unlock. So I need the stock JB google now apk. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
It may also help if someone could look in their settings and go to apps and go to all and click their google search and see what number version they have. Mine is version number 1.4.1.338691
Thanks to all those that helped. I figured all I had to do was uninstall updates from my google search app and problem was fixed.
I just cannot seem to figure this out..
I cannot get voice input to work on anything other than the S Voice program that came pre-installed on my phone.
I would like to use it when I text but the stock keyboard does not seem to have the microphone icon on it anymore. Now before you jump and say "I got this" I already know about the hold the settings icon in the lower left and choose the microphone. Only when I do it I dont get 4 icons, I only get 3 and the microphone isnt one of them.
I installed SKYVI from the Play Store and it tells me that my device does not support voice input. Well clearly it does, S Voice works so I checked all my settings but cannot get it working anyplace else. Same thing with the Swiftkey keyboard... it has a microphone icon but when pressed, nothing happens.
This is an Odin rooted stock ROM, nothing special about it at all. Anyone else ever see this before?
Does it work with Google Now? Have you tried the new Swype beta http://beta.swype.com/? This works for me but my not my keyboard of choice, messageease

I dont know what Google Now is.. didnt see any mention of it in the Play store..
I did find this out though.. a lot of these voice apps use Google's "Voice Search" app. The Play store says I have it installed but when I search my phone I dont see it. The "My Android Apps" section of the Play store also says I have it installed on my device, and also mentions its a system app of some kind. But I dont have it, and cant install it from the Play store because its "already installed". I think if I can find the APK for this program, I can probably solve my problem? Anyone have a copy or know where I can get it?
FIXED!

I went online and did some searches away from XDA and found out what Google Now is.. looks pretty slick..
But I also managed to fix my voice input problem. Reading about Google Now got me to thinking.. I opened Root Explorer and went in to System/Apps and there was an APK of something called VoiceSearchStub.apk .. it had a different icon than I was expecting but I went ahead and installed it. I now have a Voice Search icon installed and the voice input on the keyboard now works. But for the life of me I do not know why it was not there in the first place!
Hey all,
I've recorded and uploaded the video for a reproducible bug that I encountered after updating to the latest Google Maps and Google Search.
Essentially, every time Google Search is manually refreshed, Google Maps seems to crash.
I've got a rooted stock Nexus 5 on Android 4.4.2.
Google Maps version 7.6.0
Google Search version 3.2.17.1009776.arm
I've already tried the following things:
1) Cleared data on both apps and restarted the device.
2) Cleared cache via stock recovery.
None of these fixes the issue.
The only fix I found was to downgrade to the older Google Maps app.
Could anyone let me know if they are having the same issue and if anyone found a fix for it other than downgrading the app.
Thanks!

I was having this same issue on the 2013 n7 as well. So I cleared both apps' data, then uninstalled the updates on search then maps. One that's done, I force stopped maps just to be safe. I then reinstalled the search update first, followed by maps. Once both installed, I turned on Google now first before even opening maps. So far, I haven't had a crash, even after a restart. Maybe the order matters, maybe not, maybe it was dumb luck. Give it a shot, can't hurt.

Nice, that seemed to fix my problem! Appreciate the tip
@arts711 I tried your suggested solution but it didn't work for me. I guess I'll have to stick with maps 7.4.0 for now. Appreciate the tip though.

I recently updated my phone to 4.4.3
When I did I noticed that I am not having problems using the Google Search Widget on the home page and within Google Now. When I try to search for something with the keyboard I get a message that says cant load search results. The odd thing is that if I search for the same thing by voice it works just fine. Google Search within Chrome will work fine too with voice or keyboard.
I thought this was an issue with 4.4.3 so I went back to 4.4.2 and same problem! I don't know whats going on this just started for me today. If I clear the data for Google Search it seems to fix it temporarily but it always come back.
Others seem to be having this problem. There are several posts at the bottom from today: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=65976
Here is a screenshot of the error:

Anyone know of a fix?

I have the same issue, just started happening. The problem only affects the Google search widget and search for web. The image, video, etc searches all work.
I think it's pretty wide-spread. I've got 4 devices, some on 4.4.3 and some on 4.4.2 and its occurring on all of them.
There's a pretty long thread on Google Groups here:
Apparently they are aware of the issue and are working on a fix.
*edit - ugh can't post links yet. try this goo.gl/0UnHF8

Clearing the data on the Google Search App fixes the issue for one search but after I search again it says the same thing. Also images, news, videos and all that other stuff works fine its just web that is broken.
I have been having the same issue for the last 2 days.
After clearing the cache from "Google Search, Google Play and Google Now" I turned and updated each app one by one.
I have discovered that with Google Now DEACTIVATED Search works fine on all my devices.
Samsung S4
Samsung Pro 8.4
Samsung Note 3
Hope this helps.
So, I have a TF101 that I had rooted and played around with.. tried kitkat, ICS, etc... Now I have something else, and I want to give this tablet to someone else.. but I want it to be unrooted, stock rom. So, I flashed it back to factory and reset it. The needs of the next user are extremely simple, so stock should work fine...
...however, I can't get Google Play Store to work at all. I've done much research, and some say to just wait 3+ days for google play services to update itself, etc. no dice... I left it plugged in and running, checking each day to ensure it was still connected to wifi so that it could do whatever it needed to do. Nope. I found a thread on another webforum where someone described the exact problem, then at the end he said "problem solved, thank you" without actually describing what happened. Sad. sigh.
I've noticed that google play services isn't even on the stock firmware. instead, it's called google play framework. Perhaps that's part of the problem? I dunno.
I tried downloading the most recent version of google play services and manually installing the APK, but that didn't work either, google play store keeps crashing. Perhaps I need to also download a few more APK's go go along with it, but I need help identifying what is current.. or at least, I need to identify one recent enough that it can then update it self to current.
So.. I'm stuck. Can someone point me in the right direction to try to bring this fully STOCK TF101 up to at LEAST a version of google play store that works? APKs? tweaks?
Flashing to a custom rom is my LAST resort. I don't need any help doing that.. but I want to try to make Stock work again first.
BTW, that original Youtube app from stock all those years ago... it was pretty cool looking now I'm stuck with it.
Use Easyflasher:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688012
This will put it back to factory new condition and remove Root.
Sorry if I wasn't clear. I have successfully flashed the unit back to stock rom and completely wiped and reset to factory. then I turned it on, and google play store won't run. I want to install apps normally.

I had the same problem.
I found the newest playstore on internet and installed it.
Then I had no problems anymore.
That seems to have worked! I had assumed I would need to update google play services first, but apparely I just needed a new Google Play Store APK. I found one that works here: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...google-play-store-6-0-7-android-apk-download/
I downloaded the APK and ran it, and the play store now runs and is updating all other apps on the old TF101. Sweet.
Dunno if Google Play Framework will automatically replace itself with Google Play Services or what, but I'll keep an eye out for that.
Just to followup and close this topic... The tablet is now up and running with multiple apps from the play store, and my wife is now using it to read kindle books and mess with her nursing app. I was planning to give it to her mother, but she intercepted it when it started working
So, basically - if you want to go back to stock firmware - flash to stock, factory reset, then download and install current playstore (as per link above) and don't worry about Google Play Services, it will sort itself out.
