search feature disappeared from explorer?

J

I disabled the drive indexing service just like I always do in windows XP --
disable indexing on each drive, and turn off the indexing service.

Now the search function disappeared completely in windows explorer. I turn
back on the windows search service but the search function did not come
back.

I just want the real time, slow search function. How do I do this?

Why? Is your machine SO underpowered that it can't do the indexing?
