Upon updating to admin_menu 7.x-3.0-rc4, I found the search box in the admin menu disappeared, where it showed-up and worked before.

i had same problem..was this disabled from the updated version of Administration menu?? I felt like this was very beneficial and saved me much time in development.

Yep it's not there, personally I prefer it without it. The shortcut menu doesn't show up either in rc4.

the same issue.

Ditto. +1 for a fix - love admin menu, but shortcuts menu has become a mainstay for our editors.

I fixed this by enabling the "Shortcuts" component on the Admin Menu administration page (/admin/config/administration/admin_menu).

I found that going to the Admin Menu's control panel and saving the settings with the "plugins" for the "Search bar" checked did the trick. They were all checked when the page loaded, just had to save the form.

/admin/config/administration/admin_menu

While the search box does indeed appear after setting and saving the admin form, the search box does not function. Typing anything into the search box does not pop-open admin menus as it did before.

Disabling the module, uninstalling the module and re-enabling the module did nothing to solve the problem with search not working. There is a clear bug.

I can see my search bar no problem but cannot see shortcuts.

I just disabled and uninstalled the latest version. I then uploaded an old 7.x-3.0-rc3+24-dev (~August 2012-ish) and the search isn't working for that old version either and I'm pretty sure it was working then for that old version when I initially had it enabled.

So I think it's either Drupal core updates or other module updates that are keeping this from working, and it may require an update of admin_menu to get it working again, dunno.

That search saved me soooo much time.

As Chris Charlton said on #5, to fix it you just need to go to /admin/config/administration/admin_menu and save the form to have the search bar back. Then, if you activated the "Administration menu Toolbar style" module as well, you'll also be able to enable the shortcuts in this same form.

That isn't fixing my search bar working though. Search form shows up but the dropdown of results and thus rolling over them to click or show their loation in the admin menu isn't working at all. Search field with no functionality.

The search is working properly after having saved the form on my side. I'm running a new install of drupal 7.21 with only 2 extra modules : admin_menu & devel. Maybe your search problem is linked to a conflict with another module deanflory.

Here is the patch I made to initialize admin_menu plugins variable. With it, after the install, you don't need to save the admin_menu form to have the search. However it does not activate shortcuts by default since they come with the "Administration menu Toolbar style" module.

Please ignore the previous patch since it contains an error. Here is the right version.

FYI, my search is now working, though I'm unsure what caused it to start working again, maybe a module update/fix or possibly it was when I enabled jquery_update and jqmulti. I don't know and don't have time to test all that out.

I do have a sneaking suspicion that makes me want to ask if the search feature in admin_menu requires a version of jquery that is higher than that provided with D7.22.
