Chosen solution

Hi devlinfilms, the classic way to do this is as follows:

(1) Make sure the bars are adjacent. If necessary, use Customize to move the search bar next to the address bar, then exit out of Customize.

(2) Hover the mouse pointer over the space between the two bars until a double-headed arrow appears, then click and drag to the left to steal space from the address bar and add it to the search bar.

(3) If desired, separate the two bars again in Customize.
