Edmund: are you familiar with about:config? http://www.mozillazine.org/misc/about:config/#edit has some instructions if you aren't.

It would be good if you could use it to javascript.options.showInConsole to true, and then check the Error Console (in the Tools menu) after trying to use the search bar. You should see an error, and posting it here will help us debug.
