My Google search bar was replaced by Bing, which I absolutely loathe and do not support. Where can I get my Google search bar?

My search bar was changed to bing, and I absolutely cannot stand bing for everything it stands for. I would love to have my Google search bar back, but I cannot find a way to change it. I didn't even install bing, or the MSN toolbar, which I also ended up getting. I got rid of the toolbar, but the search bar is still bing!

If you're referring to the search bar at the upper right, then clicking on the search icon should show a pulldown menu with all the search options. Clicking "Manage Search Engines.." should allow you to add/remove search engines.

If you want a Google toolbar, please allow me to redirect you here: Google Toolbar

I believe it installs as an extension which you can manage through Tools > Add-ons.
