It's a widget. Just add it back to your home screen. Hold your finger on an empty spot for a second or so and then select widget

Make sure you did not disable the Google app. The widget is within the app.

I'm having the same problem. Long pressing on the home screen just puts a rectangle around the screen and brings up the delete option. When I click on the apps menu, there isn't a widgets option?

I am having the same problem. I could not find it in Widgets. ATT support made some changes today to google account. How to I enable the google app?

The widget on our S6 and also Note 4 is one of the Launcher3 widgets

Same thing happened in my Note 5. I got it back by pressing hold on screen > select Widget icon in lower section > in widgets select "More" link in upper right > select "Search Widgets" > type "Google" into search box and Google widgets populate. Click Google App widget cluster > in cluster, press and hold search bar and drag to home screen.
