How can I hide google search field in safari?

Question

When customizing safari toolbar I can't get rid of google's search field right next to address bar. Is there any secret preference tweak to achieve this?

Answer 1

You can use Safari Omnibar.

From the website:

Features

• Unified location bar with search bar
• Search directly using location bar
• Quickly switch engines using search engine keywords
• Define new search engines

It works on Snow Leopard and Lion.

NB : it requires you to install SIMBL. See the FAQ on the website.
