The search box is in the 'Mail' toolbar. From menu bar select 'View' -> 'Toolbars' -> then check 'Mail Toolbar'. OR from the menu pull-down select 'Preferences' and check 'Mail Toolbar'. All of your preferences are stored in a profile folder which is separate from the TB program files, so when you reload or upgrade TB it uses the existing profile.
