I can no longer search for tools, etc using the Search window in ArcMap i.e. Windows | Search doesn't work and nor does ctrl + f.
I thought updating my student license would do the trick but after doing so it's still the same. I have also tried to fix it by deleting Normal.mxt but that didn't work either.
I read somewhere that ArcMap can sometimes misbehave because of problems related to the pc user account.
I may accidentally have shut down my computer the wrong way last week and before I was properly logged off (by pulling the plug too early).
What could be the cause of this and how may I fix it?
My version of ArcMap is 10.5.0.6491.

What version of ArcGIS? Which search has disappeared - the Find button to find records in layers in your map, or the Search window to find tools and datasets? The Search Window can be re-added by Windows menu > Search

Did you try the usual tech support approach of renaming your ESRI application data folder to see if that fixed it? It would be something like C:UsersxxyourusernameherexxxAppDataRoamingESRI? A less radical approach would be to just rename your Normal.mxt which would be in the subfolder Desktop10.5ArcMapTemplates. If that doesn't fix things you can rename them back to keep any customizations, and move on to other methods. Another similar tech support suggestion would be to rename your ESRI folder in the registry but messing with the registry may not be to your liking.

I have experienced the same problem since 2016.
I contacted ESRI and they sent me different types of possible solutions.
I tried the first solution they emailed me, that is by creating a new Windows user for the computer.
I created a new user and logged out from the current user. When I open ArcMap, the search windows finally appear and everything is functioning normally.

I was having the same problem with Desktop ArcMap10.6 on Windows 7. I tried the following:
Remove normal.mxt from the c: drive.
Renamed the ESRI folder in the c: drive (essentially the same as step 1, I know.)
Deleted DefaultDomain_Path_folder from the c: drive.
Option 3 worked for me!
I did not try to create a new user so can not comment on the efficacity of that option.

I was having the same problem with Desktop ArcMap10.6 on Windows 7. I tried the following:
Remove normal.mxt from the c: drive.
Renamed the ESRI folder in the c: drive (essentially the same as step 1, I know.)
Deleted DefaultDomain_Path_folder from the c: drive.
Option 3 worked for me!
I did not try to create a new user so can not comment on the efficacity of that option.

What version of ArcGIS? Which search has disappeared - the Find button to find records in layers in your map, or the Search window to find tools and datasets? The Search Window can be re-added by Windows menu > Search

It sounds more like Find but it would be nice to be sure before spending time writing an answer.

I have now updated the question. I'm asking about the search tool and no it can not be re-added from the Windows menu.

Looks like a bug. Have you contacted ESRI's support?

Did you try the usual tech support approach of renaming your ESRI application data folder to see if that fixed it? It would be something like C:UsersxxyourusernameherexxxAppDataRoamingESRI? A less radical approach would be to just rename your Normal.mxt which would be in the subfolder Desktop10.5ArcMapTemplates. If that doesn't fix things you can rename them back to keep any customizations, and move on to other methods. Another similar tech support suggestion would be to rename your ESRI folder in the registry but messing with the registry may not be to your liking.
