A couple of caveats ...

1. Josh's suggestion will NOT work if you're using the Classic interface.

2. If you happen to have TweakUI 1.33 installed, the "Search Results" box on the Desktop tab must be checked in order for the Search function to work properly.

Hope this helps.

While I'm not sure what caused the search link to be missing from your start menu, here are steps to get it back:

- right-click on the 'Start' button
- select 'Properties'
- under the 'Start Menu' tab, press the 'Customize...' button
- under the 'Advanced' tab, scroll down in the 'Start menu items' window
- select the checkbox for 'Search'
