CTRL+F should open the search toolbar - if not, then the configuration
is messed up, or (maybe) the search bar has been switched off via the
toolbar menu entry in View. Currently, the search bar is a toolbar
(which is a bit weird, but was chosen by the devs because of easier
implementation).

For more information about the issue (and chances to contribute to make
the search experience better), see:

Greetings from the conference (or more detailed: shortly before
breakfast) :-)

Cheers,
Christoph
