The default theme seems to have 'hard-wired' the html placeholder for the search box in the left sidebar. So as soon as the Search module is enabled, the Search block appears in the left sidebar, even when the Search block is disabled in the blocks administration page! When the Search block is 'enabled' for any other region, the search block in the left sidebar remains, causing duplication.

I assume you mean the search box in the Garland theme. This search box is coded in the template:

<div id="sidebar-left" class="sidebar">
<?php if ($search_box): ?><div class="block block-theme"><?php print $search_box ?></div><?php endif; ?>
<?php print $left ?>
</div>

As you can see the search box is only shown when $search_box is true. That variable can be set using the theme configuration.
When you uncheck the checkbox that says Search box the search box will not be displayed.
