My search widget won't stay put. Keeps moving to the top of the screen. Then
will not work and covers other icons. Tried removing, moving location etc. seems to have a mind of it's own. Any one else?

Had the same exact issue. IF you power cycle the phone the widget will appear where you originally installed it to, you can then drag it to the trash. I even went so far as to delete the .apk. But the widget still appears in your choices when you long press. Anyone know if it's hidden somewhere else??
 
If you are using Launcherpro, I had the same issue, and it seems to be fixed by going to preferences/Homescreen Settings and selecting "Auto-fit items".
 
I tried the auto-fit thing and it doesn't work either. I am glad someone posted the same thing. It moves to the top after I search something. This has been the only problem for me with making the Fascinate a google phone!
 
I just figured it out, I think. But when the widget moves to the top, hit the Home key again to bring up the screen that shows the different screens (if that makes sense) and then viola, it should be in working order. But I also uninstalled and reinstalled the APK too!
 
This is a simple one. Your phone is possessed. You need to take it to a young priest and an old priest. :p
 
That would be funny (ok,its funny) if the recent update did not revert my phone back to being a bing device. My soft key is now going to bing again. I reinstalled the google enhanced apk. No luck. The google widget is good for one use before you have to delete it. WTF!?? Send help! bing sux!

Really? I just did the update this morning and that was the first thing I checked. I still have google search engine on my search key.

and I too am getting the self-moving widget problem. I just got rid of it and am using the soft key instead.
 
I had a same problem.. google search moved on its own after i searched something and go into browser, then after I press back to quit, it goes all the way to top of screen and doesn't work anymore so had to delete it.

Try ADW Launcher EX.
Its Google search widget works without any problem. :D
