SQL Search disappeared from toolbar/ribbon - how to access

kalo

This has happened before and I am sure a reboot has resolved for me but not this time.

Today, the SQL Search button is not showing next to SQLHistory|SQL Source Control. 

Is there a fool-proof way to get it back and/or a different route to access it (no menu option)?

When it disappeared this coincided with being prompted to update SQLPrompt - so I did that and on 10.13.14.2694 (SSMS 18.12.1)

i've followed wave22 advice from other ticket and used Repair

Hi @kalo

Have you tried clicking on the dropdown in case it's hidden?



Alternatively you can try uninstalling SQL Search using this Microsoft uninstaller to remove the previous version and do a fresh install:

This tool is good for removing rogue registry keys that can cause installation problems.
 
Then use this link to reinstall: https://download.red-gate.com/checkforupdates/SQLSearch/SQLSearch_3.6.5.3820.exe

Thanks for the reply Victoria. 
Yes, tried looking within the adjacent dropdown but was not showing.
Issue occurred again the following day and Repair worked from the uninstall.
Next time issue occurs I will try following your suggestion.
Thanks again.
