Since Vista, there's been a text box you get when you click the start button, in which you type to filter on programs.

I've found that it's gone here. Disabled or whatnot, I don't know. How can I get this back?

Go to Programs and Features in Control Panel. Click on Turn Windows Features on or off, go at the lower part, check if Windows Search is unchecked. If it is, check it then press OK.

Even if the run box is disabled you can still bring it up by pressing the win+r key combination

There's a similar question posted, except asking how to remove it. You may want to follow the instructions to see if the search box is disabled.
