I've noticed the search bar has been really slow lately (especially images), but it never happens with chrome. It's gotten to the point where I completely avoid the search bar altogether and go straight to the browser for searches. Has anyone else encountered this? I've already tried clearing the app's data/cache.
Thanks
I mostly don't use the search bar but after reading this I tried but I don't feel anything I think it's completely normal.
I use search bar all the time. Works fine/fast for me.

This is my second vibrant and I have noticed that after browsing web for s small amount of time the browsers keeps closing suddenly and returning to home screen... This happened on my first vibrant as well... Is anyone else suffering from this issue or knows a way to fix this?

Yes this happens, hopefully they will fix it.
There are two options to remedy the situation for now.
1st, go into your browser settings and uncheck plug-ins.
Personally this didn't work for me
2nd option which works flawlessly. The second option is to visit desktop versions of websites. For example, if I visit mobile version of google, it just randomly exits. So what I did is set my homepage to the full desktop version. Since google is my homepage, i went into settings, and typed out the full path for google desktop view into my start page settings.
Again, if your browser randomly closes, try visiting full page views.
I've also noticed this is linked to the GPS issue. Some sites try to get your location. If the site starts trying to find your location, and your gps is bust, the browser just exits.
you could try a 3rd party browser like dolphin or skyfire.

It has been confirmed that on the Mobile version of Google, the "nearest location" check activates the GPS which crashes the browser.
Turn off the GPS. Open a webpage to Google search and finger "Classic" which is half way down the page. This will switch you to the original Google site so that its not trying to get your location when you open a browser window. If a site is trying to use your location it will happen, but in my experience it has only been on mobile sites using location tracking.
There is a setting to turn off - allow websites to request access to your location. Would that help?
This isn't necessarily a location settings issue. It could be a flash issue. When visiting some pages with flash content, the browser will suddenly close and return you to the homescreen. If this is the case, it will happen every time you visit a particular page, and it will also happen with skyfire and Dolphin HD (at least on the 2 phones I have tried them on). Only option to fix this problem is to disable plug-ins in the browser settings.
Good Luck.
Maybe it's just me or something I'm doing, but Swype beta (2.6?) basically isn't working on the Google using the stock browser. I've manager to successfully install Swype and I'm enjoying it very much, but this is a large problem.
Basically, when trying to Swype in a Google search, the text bar just won't respond. Swype itself seems to respond just fine - the suggestion bar even comes up. But no text appears in the bar.
It's anyone else experiencing this?
See the same thing, but I don't normally use the Silk browser. Normally Dolphin or Opera Mobile if not that.
So it works fine on those? Well that's definitely a young point for then. Time to get the market.
Over the past week+, even before the latest update, Google Search has been acting wonky...
Note: I am often in an environment that isn't ideal for voice searches, so all my searching is initiated by tapping the search bar. I don't know if the problems that I am reporting occur with voice initiated searches...
Many times when I search no search results will come up... it will just sit there...
Clicking on images at the bottom always brings up results and then clicking back on web sometimes 'wakes up' search and produces search results.
Searching from within Chrome by typing a search on the URL bar always works and doesn't exhibit this problem...
What I have done to try to remedy it:
> Uninstalled Google Search updates and gone back to factory
> Force stopped three apps/services and cleared data: search, voice search and google services framework
> Removed and reinstalled my Google Account from the device
None of those steps fixed the problem...
Has anyone else experienced this?
Note: I am totally stock with an unlocked bootloader...
Thanks...

Others have talked about this including me. Look at the following thread and comment there.

I am on 7.1.1 beta build NMF26F. I am seeing some issues when scrolling within chrome, amazon app, google app. After searching for some results, when I try to scroll down the page, it automatically scrolls to the top of the page. No mater what I do, it doesn't go down the page. Only solution I found was to clear the app from recent tasks and open it again and start the search again. If lucky, it works else the same issue. Any one have any suggestions or tips? Did you guys see this issue? It has been happening since a month or so. Phone is not rooted or unlocked.

Actually there's an easy fix for that, paste this in chrome search bar and activate it
chrome://flags/#enable-scroll-anchoring

Tried that too but no luck. It's happening in other apps too. I was using chrome dev. Uninstalled that for now. So far no issues.
Try HEBF on play store
I just got a replacement brand new 6P because of the battery problems and the scrolling is perfectly smooth and fast on 7.1.1. With my old affected 6P it was poor and laggy. Not sure why or how this can be linked but that's the case.
Im at my wits end with this issue...
I'm getting a bit desperate here, and i cant find a solution anywhere else... i asked before, and it seemed the other people having this issue were using nova or at least some sort of non oem launcher, but some people with nova never saw the problem..
whenever i click on anything in an app... aka, a link in gmail to an ebay item...
what happens, is it opens chrome and displays the last thing i visited on chrome. sometimes if i hit back, it will go back to the ebay app it was supposed to open in and display what i was looking for. other times if i hit back, it goes back a page in chrome till i get to the home page, and then if i hit back again it finally closes chrome and it takes me to the ebay app and the results i want.
the same thing happens if i click on a link from search in the google app... if it is a link handled by an app, it will open with that app. if it is a misc link, it will open chrome showing the last thing i viewed in chrome, then i click back once or a few times(or switch back to the google app via recent apps), and boom... the link is open in the google app.
another example.. open a link in metal(my reddit app, but it also does it with bacon reader)... it opens chrome showing the last thing i viewed in chrome. if i back out of chrome, or go into recent apps and switch back to the reddit app.
it is absurdly annoying. this happened with my old lgv20, and it happens with my new one that i got as a warranty replacement. Idk what app or setting followed me over to the new phone and i have no idea how to fix it. anyone else have this problem?
the only time i can get the issue to go away is... if i clear google chrome defaults in the app manager.. and i have a 2nd browser installed, like firefox... and every time it asks to open a random link in chrome or firefox, if i select just once... the issue stays away. if i either uninstall firefox, or click chrome and set it as the default, the issue comes back.
thanks. Im honestly getting desperate as it is making phone use very very cumbersome, especially for switching back and forth between apps.
occasionally making sure chrome isnt in my recent apps will help, but not always.
anyone else here with experiencing the same?
