Summary: There are a couple different ways to restore your Internet Explorer address bar if it has disappeared.
My Internet Explorer address bar has disappeared! All I have is search bars from Google and Mywebsearch and Iwonsearch. How do I get it back???
•
You should be able to right-click on one of the remaining toolbars and select address bar again.
•
If that doesn't stick, I'd suspect one of those other search bars for being spyware (not Google's, though - Google's toolbar is good and I run it myself). I would run a spyware tool immediately.
Update:
Microsoft recently released this knowledgebase article: The Internet Explorer Address bar is missing.

Posted by: ashi at February 25, 2010 8:11 AMClick "View" in the menu bar at the top of Internet Explorer. You will only need to do it once. A list will drop down. On that list you will select the menu "Toolbars" and on that file you will select "Address Bar" and it would be back. This will work on IE1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. If you have IE7 or 8 you cannot remove the toolbar.

Posted by: Jack at March 11, 2010 5:13 AMI did exactly what they say above, IE 8, "View" then "toolbars". There is no "Address Bar" to select, There is Menu,Favorites,Command,Status etc. but no address bar option. I find IE8 to be horrible and wish I did'nt upgrade from ie7. Java stopped working correctly, I can't remove the Favorites bar which eats up 1/2 inch of my screen, I have a search window in the upper right corner that I can't remove. When adding to the favorites a massive exploded view of all subfavorites opens up and gives me a headache trying to find the right spot to save your bookmark. It really stinks.
