Windows 10: My Bing search "?" has disappeared from my start up bar. What did I do and how do I get it...

I enjoy using bing search. The "?" has always been displayed on my task bar. Last week it vanished. I don't know if I did anything to remove it but I would like to get it back. I am using an HP Pavilion laptop that has a touch pad that performs a lot of functions in addition to being a mouse that I don't particularly like or intentionally use. Any assistance would be gratefully appreciated.
