At the top of the google search page is the familiar search bar. I type something there and use my middle mouse wheel to scroll down the list of search results.

Now, however, the search bar and what I typed in the bar, follows me as I scroll down the results. I need the search bar to stay in its FIXED POSITION at the top of the page.

Please tell me how to put it back like it was. Maybe an experimental flag I can disable? Thank y'all

In Chrome the search bar does not stay put, out of sight, at the top as I scroll the list of results either. Using Chrome, the search bar has a white background behind the bar.

I need all the screen real estate I can get. My having poor vision, my pages are all zoomed way in and I keep xp magnifier docked at the bottom, so keeping the google search bar on top frees up a bit more valuable screen view.

Hope someone can point to a fixe for this.

Worse comes to worse, I can always erase the search bar with Ublock Origin and then start typing my searches into the address bar

NEVER MIND

I used Ublock Origin to erase the damn search bar altogether.
I can still go to google.com, I click on a bookmarks bar tab for that.
Adding the following filters to UBO, I no longer have the search bar present on my search results page.
