I did not ask or want my google to be transformed into an app I have to speak with, if they dont give me an option to change back to type to search ill be deleting my google account and finding a new search engine. This was the dumbest update they have ever done.

I know that this is not the expected experience with our service. No worries, I'd be more than glad to share more details with you.
