Are you running Launcher Pro or ADW? Both launchers try to use the 2.1 widget and have issues as a result.

I am using launcher pro. Any fix yet with this?

Not to my knowledge, but I'm 99% sure this issue is isolated to the alternate launchers. Switch back to PhilBlur (use Home Switcher app to help you if you need to) and load the Google Search widget. If the G is blue on the left of the widget, you know you have the Froyo version which should work fine on the stock launcher.

Using Launcher Pro here, and had the same issues. However, I just tried it again randomly last night and it has the new Google search widget. Seems to be working fine now.

That is odd as hell. Just tried it on my phone (LP +) and it still loads the old widget (without the blue Google on the left). I don't really use it but I'd like to find out what's up.

Yeah, mine has worked just fine since the Froyo update but it did pull down the 2.2 version. Either way, you guys could just download the new one from the market, I saw it there last night.

Great widget, especially when driving. Definitely worth the effort to fix it.

Just realized that when you go to add the widget, there are two choices now. There's the "Search" widget, which is the old widget, and does not work.

There is now also a "Google Search" widget. That is the one you should add.

Please pardon me if I'm the last one to figure this out, and it was obvious to everyone else!

Got it off the market; working without problem.
