WE search window disappears

Win7 Home 64 bit. The window into which you could enter a search term
(e.g. file name) in windows explorer has vanished. How can I get it back?

Thanks!

Are you saying you don't see it up there in the upper right corner of
the Windows Explorer window, just under the Minimize button?

Your answer is better than mine, but I had to get the preliminaries
out of the way first.

That is the search window I'm referring to. When I started the PC
today, the search window is present now. I checked the control panel
setting & it was selected. Weird. If it happens again, I'll check the
setting 1st.
