How do I get rid of the Google search in Konqueror

Hello, if someone has already asked about this, then I apologize for duplication. Does anyone know how to get rid of the Google search in the Konqueror Toolbar?

If I go to Settings->Toolbars it shows that I only have two toolbars enabled. ("Main Toolbar (Konqueror)" and "Location Toolbar (Konqueror)") So I right click on the tool bar and go to "Configure Toolbars..." I look in both those sections, and I don't see anything about the Google search in them.

Is there some trick, or am I looking in the wrong place? Honestly it's not a huge deal if I can't, it's just that I use gg: when I want to search Google, and the extra text area looks clunky.

I'm running Konqueror 3.3.2 on KDE 3.3.2, Debian Unstable.

Thanks.

In Kde 3.4

in kde 3.4 just Settings Menu - Configure Extensions.

I have read you use kde 3.2 on debian sid, what about switching to kde 3.4:)?

Bye,

I think there is an additional choice Location Toolbar (searchbar).
Switch to that an remove the searchbar action.

Thanks to everyone that responded, I appreciate it. Using anda_skoa's advice I was able to remove the Google searchbar from the location bar.

In response to p.alfa. I can't wait for KDE 3.4.1 to hit the Debian repositories. I know there's another source I can add to my /etc/apt/sources.list file, but I would rather wait for the official release.

Here's a step by step for other people with Konqueror 3.3.2 wanting to get rid of the searchbar.

1. Go to Settings->"Configure Toolbars..."
2. Select the Location Toolbar <searchbar>
3. In the "Current Actions:" selection area you should see "Search Bar"
4. Select the "Search Bar" option and press the arrow pointing to the "Available Actions:" selection area.
5. Press OK

The searchbar should now be gone.

One thing I did notice is that for a little while the searchbar would sometimes appear when I opened Konqueror, so I opened and closed Konqueror repeatedly until the searchbar stopped appearing. I assume this occurred because I keep two instances of Konqueror preloaded.

Thanks again for everyone's help.

Tried that, but doesn't cut it for me.
The search bar won't go away, and it will keep appearing in the "Current Actions:" area for the search bar.
I'm running "Konqueror 3.3.2 (Using KDE 3.3.2)" on Debian sarge.
