Having installed Thunderbird on my new machine, the quick filter box was available, but the search box that normally lives above it has disappeared. How do I get it back?

It is related to the 'global indexer', which enables the global search. For whatever reason, this was disabled on installation. In 78.10, the setting can be found as a checkbox under Preferences > General > Indexing > Enable Global Search and Indexer
