Search Box has disappeared from the Finder window

The Search Box has disappeared from the top right hand corner of the Finder window. I now have to locate the search box with three clicks Finder> File> Find


Can somebody please tell me how to make the search box a permanent feature of the Finder window again.

That's odd. Try booting into Safe Mode then restart normally. That sometimes will fix weird glitches.
