SQL Search not displaying in SSMS 20 toolbar

JeffLawton

I just installed SSMS 20. I then installed SQL Search 3.0.  SQL Search is not displaying in SSMS 20 toolbar.  It does not appear as a choice when I right click.

Hi there,

Can you try using this installer and see if it successfully installs SQL Search into SSMS?

Thank you @chrisqtran, repair did not work but uninstalling and reinstalling completely worked for me!

Same problem for me. Uninstalling SQL Search and reinstalling it, using the link provided by @chrisqtran, has solved the problem.

Came here for the same issue. SQL search disappeared after update to SSMS 20.2 and reinstalling SQL tool belt. I have to uninstall SQL search 3 and then restart the installer to get the SQL search tool in the ribbon. Other SQL tool belt items show up with the installer in the first time.
