We did something to Safari and now it doesn’t show the URL and the Google search pane at the top of the screen.

Any idea how to bring them back?

Try “Show Toolbar” under the View menu.

Tried that - “Show Toolbar” is turned on, but it doesn’t have the fields to show the URL and the Google search.

Ah ha!

“Customize Toolbar” allowed me to drag the url and google back onto the Toolbar.

No idea how they disappeared - the Piper Cub had something to do with it, methinks.
