ribbon commands

Somehow my "Home" tab, "editing" has reinvented itself. I used to have the
default which showed find, replace and select. Now it only shows the
binoculars. How can I restore the complete editing group on the ribbon?

The ribbon adapts to the Word window being made narrower by collapsing some
of the groups, starting with the rightmost one. Drag the sides of the window
to make it a bit wider, and the ribbon will return to the original display.

For an interesting exercise, squish the Word window down to about a quarter
of the screen width and watch the ribbon collapse to nearly nothing.
Clicking each collapsed group will display its contents as a drop menu.
