When in Google I have always had a "back" button in the upper left corner of the screen on the same line as the internet address I am looking at. Today, that option has disappeared and I only have the address. How do I get my "back" feature back?

What browser do you use. Unless we know which one its difficult to answer your question. Usually there is a settings area where you can add or remove controls from the navigation bar. If your browser is set to automatically update itself, maybe the techs that upgrade it decided to remove or move the forward back function in the latest version. You can always try reinstalling the browser and see what happens, use an earlier version with auto update turned off, or switch browsers (they're free after all).

I'm going to assume you're using Google Chrome since you said Google. If that's the case do you have a custom theme installed from the Chrome store? Some custom themes will change the toolbar. If you do have a custom theme try removing it and see if the back button returns.
