Hi Chris, It sounds like your computer lost the search field in the upgrade to Catalina as well. the only way to fix this is to use the Customize toolbar item under the View menu. the problem is that this dialog/window does not work with VO dragging in any way shape or form. I have reported it to Apple, but it wouldn't hurt if someone else did. So, your options are to get sighted assistance to have them use the Customize toolbar window to drag the search field back into place, or to try dragging it yourself and guessing where to drop it. The dragging needs to be done with your Trackpad or mouse, as it cannot be done with VO methods. I was able to make it work without sighted assistance, but it took a lot of patience and may have been a fluke that I even got it to drop in the right place.

Basically, I can’t find any text area to enter the search criteria.
