Why did the Voice Search icon disappear from my home screen?

[Android Central Question]

Why did the Voice Search icon (little mic) disappear from the home screen? The Voice Search app is also mising. This was a pre-installed app on my Droid phone. I cannot find it at the Play Store without ads. I am not referring to the Google Voice Search widget.

That was related to an update to the Google app that temporarily changed Voice Search to Google Assistant. If you've updated your Play Store apps since writing this message, you should see it revert back to the way it was before.

You have to uncheck the Samsung keyboard and general management and language input I had to go through a few settings on the Note 8 but Bixby was disabled from my keyboard and I got my microphone button back but it was just at the top of the keyboard furthermore my voice search icon is back
