Martin,

I see the "search" box on both 1.5 (FC6) and 2.0 (F7).  In 1.5 there is 
an option under view to turn it off, but I do not see that option in 
2.0.  I also looked in the advanced config in 2.0 and did not see 
anything obvious.

As a last resort, you could try moving your profile and letting 
thunderbird create a new one.
