  Hi @MartinC74
  
  Please can you use this Microsoft uninstaller to remove the previous version of SQL Search and then do a fresh install:

  This tool is good for removing rogue registry keys that can cause installation problems.
   
  Then use this link to reinstall: https://download.red-gate.com/checkforupdates/SQLSearch/SQLSearch_3.6.2.3390.exe

  Hello Support
  
  We have the same problem, The SQLSearch (and other) items disappeared in MSMS Toolbar, only the History button remains.
  This happens almost every 4 weeks, we have to run the repair process, which is not really the solution.
  This affects all users in our company.
  
  We run Search
  3.6.1.3286 and 3.6.2.3390 (but it also occured in previous versions as well)
  
  The log directory has logfiles for every day until the toolbar disappeared.
  AppData\Local\Red Gate\Logs\SQLSearch 3
  
  \Local\Red Gate\Logs\SSMS Integration Pack 3
  Has daily new files
  
  MSMS V18.12.1 (all users)
  
  Could you please support us 
  
  Thanks
  Tom

  Hi @Wave22
  
  Please can you attach the log files when you have some so that we can take a look and see what's happening?

  Hello Victory
  
  Sure, I have attached some.
  On March 30th and April 28th are dates, where the toolbar disappeared. 
  
  Kind regards
  Tom

  Hi @Wave22
  
  The logs didn't show anything significant.
  
  As it's disappearing at regular intervals it's likely to be environmental. It could be caused by Antivirus or 3rd party software which can remove features and blocking add-ins. You may not know you have anything installed so it may be worth checking with your IT team.

  Hi,
  I had a pending update for prompt (to 10.13)  which when installed fixed the issue for me.
