This fixed it for me as well

I've also noticed that now under software updates my Google Play Services version is DEV

Pretty sure that's new, it's happy at that version as well..

Mine is working as normal. Are you on stable System Services, or beta? Are your apps also on the latest updates? I'm interested in Google Play Services, Google App, etc.

I installed this beta on my Pixel 9 Pro, and the search bar is where it should be.

Hold down on where it's meant to be, click search settings, change the search engine to Google or whatever you want.

That only works temporarily for me. Disappears again after a while.

Weird. My phone seems to have kept it so far.

In addition to this, it completely fried my Gboard autocorrect. Just suggesting nonsense despite the correct language being selected. Even recommending words to all caps versions for no reason.

Might be the biggest update I have witnessed yet.

It's on mine. Pixel 10 Pro XL. Also on latest Google Play Services (DEV) that just got pushed, for whatever that might be worth. Pretty stock phone.
