My Google search isn't working correctly. I can use a widget but then I have two search bars.

Any ideas

You can use a different launcher to customize your home screen and get rid of the Google search bar. I use Nova and can confirm that a singular Firefox search bar works nicely, and I'm sure that it does with other launchers as well.

I used to really like pixel launcher on my OnePlus phone. I'll get nova a try. Is it just an app. I can't remember how I used to set it up. I know they started discontinuing launchers

You can find the app for the launcher in the play store. There should be instructions in the app for making it your default launcher. Otherwise there are plenty of tutorials online.

Got it. Thanks. Finding launcher settings is always the crux. Cheers

How do you set up a Firefox search bar, if you don't mind?

[-] Bolt@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

So long as you have Firefox installed there's a firefox search bar widget available. In Nova you add widgets with a long press on home screen and swipe up.

Ok, thank you. I'm an idiot. I added the Nova search bar and searched its settings.
