UPDATE: I have resolved my issue. Had to uninstall SQL Search 3 (older version) using Revo Uninstaller due to fatal error when regular uninstall run. Then install ver 3.6.1.3286 successfully.
Please can you try uninstalling and reinstalling SQL Search first:

If this doesn't help, are there any recent events in the SSMS event viewer? Can you send over the SSMS logs?

It's just been confirmed that this is a bug in the latest version of SQL Prompt.
We're working on this right now but in the meantime please can you downgrade to the previous version until we have a fix:

I'll let you know as soon as there's a release.

However, no news since on this issue in several months since his Nov 7 post and no response after one week to my follow-up question in the thread.
Thank you!

The general download link still downloads 3.6.1.3286
https://www.red-gate.com/products/sql-development/sql-search/installer/
Also, when I tried to install the above version, I got a message sayiing that there was already a newer version installed on the system. I had to uninstall and then install this version in order to be able to see the SQL Search button in SSMS 19.1 at all.
What version should I install in order for SQL Search to work in both SSMS 18 and 19.1?
Please can you uninstall SQL Search using this Microsoft uninstaller tool:

This tool is good for removing rogue registry keys that can cause installation problems.
Then do a fresh install. The latest version of SQL Search will work with SSMS 18 and 19:

We have had reports of this issue but have been unable to reproduce it as yet.
It would be useful to have a copy of your event log if possible? I will reach out in a support ticket so that you don't have to share this information on the forum.

Multiple SQL Search and SSMS Integration uninstall and reinstall attempts did not fix it.
After reinstalling SSMS 2019.1 it poppped up an error. I must have clicked "do not show again" that mentioned C:\Users\MYUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\AppEnv\15.0\ActivityLog.xml
Inside of that at the bottom I found a SQL Search error: CreateInstance failed for package [SqlSearchSsmsPackage]Source: 'mscorlib' Description: String cannot have zero length.

Searching for that let me to another post which resolved the issue.

I had to delete SQL Search files that were not being removed during uninstall and reboots and reinstalls.
So after uninstalling SQL Search, and then delete some left over files in C:\Program Files (x86)\Red Gate\SQL Search\, and reinstalling, That fixed the issue for me.
Here's the entire error message I found in case it helps redgate resolve this issue for future users:
A bit late to the party here but I've just installed SSMS V19.1 and I can't get SQL Search to appear in the GUI.
When I try to install either of the versions from the links above, I get the message saying I have a newer version installed.
I've been into Control Panel to try and uninstall it but it won't disappear.
I'm just installing SSMS V19.2 so I'll let you know how that goes but is this another bug in the software?
Regards
Richard
Installed SSMS V19.2 and SQL Search not available. I've tried to uninstall SQL Search from control panel but it won't go. I've deleted everything I can find to do with it (in Program Files, Program Files (x86), AppData) but still no joy.
I can't install either of the versions mentioned here as the setup file is saying I've got a new version installed.
Anyone any ideas?
Regards
Richard
Have you tried uninstalling SQL Search using this Microsoft uninstaller tool:
https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/86975-program-install-uninstall-troubleshooter-windows.html
Then reinstalling?

Just tried that but it said it couldn't fix the issues. I went through all the details and they all said "Issue not present" so I'm at a complete loss now.
