Description
The captcha module should probably not add the 'Add Captcha' link to Drupal's search form, because it interferes with the search button when it is presented inline. This is a minor usability issue that's probably easily fixed.
#1
Well, I don't think this issue worth fixing,
the CAPTCHA admin link is only added for users with the "administer CAPTCHA settings" permission and only when the feature is enabled. Moreover, it is only a visual glitch, it does not disable any functionality.
The feature of adding CAPTCHA admin links is not meant to be enabled all the time, so I would recommend to disable it once you don't need it anymore.
On the other hand, some admins might possibly want to add a CAPTCHA to the search form (for example to avoid automated DDOS attacks or something) and then not showing the CAPTCHA admin links would be a bug.
#2
On the other hand, it's entirely possible to add a capcha to the search form just by plugging it into the captcha module configuration.
It indeed 'disables' functionality, as it makes it difficult or impossible (depending upon the placement of other elements) to click the search box.

Can you give an example of this?
With a default Garland theme I get the still usable situation as in the attached screenshot
