I'm hoping this is not a bug but a case of my poor memory.
In Konqueror, one of my user accounts shows a search bar to the right of the location bar.:
http://humanreadable.nfshost.com/trinity/konq-user1.png
Another user does not show the search bar:
http://humanreadable.nfshost.com/trinity/konq-user2.png
Both users show an rsync plugin button from the kdeaddons package.
I have no idea how to enable or disable either the search bar or the rsync button. I'm not commenting on the merits of the tools, just the inability to enable (show) or disable (not show).
I thought perhaps the solution was in the Configure Extensions menu option, but nothing happens when I change the check boxes.
Neither option appears in the Configure Toolbars menu option.
I hope I'm missing something obvious!

You can use either the Menu bar at the top:
Settings >> Toolbars -- turns the individual toolbars on and off
Settings >> Configure Toolbars -- lets you add remove things to the individual tool bars.
OR
Right click in an empty part of the toolbar and select Configure Toolbars from the menu.

Those options don't do anything. :) There are no options to not show either. In the Extensions menu are check boxes but they don't do anything either.

OK, sorry I did not read your post correctly
In the user account that has has the search bar, when you use configure toolbars, does the "search" feature show up in either the left or right window? If it does what is it's name?
If it does not show, you might have an "orphan" issue where the search feature was discontinued in the upgrade version but the upgrade process left it in when upgrading KDE.
On "clean" installs I have had toolbar features like that disappear on later versions and I have had to edit the appropriate *ini files to put it back in. I have done this mostly with Kate since Konqueror in its default "installed" layout does what I want. With an upgrade the features were retained because KDE continued to use my original *.ini files from my home folder.

I just tested creating a clean profile. The search toolbar still is not in the list. I'm guessing the searchbar is hard-coded into the Location bar.
I'm guessing the rsync option is hard-coded too.
In my KDE 3.5.10 setup I don't have the search toolbar showing. The searchbar plugin is installed. After all these years I don't remember how I disabled the search bar. I don't have the rsync plugin installed in 3.5.10.

I'll have to tinker. I think the toolbar layout is defined in $HOME//.trinity/share/apps/konqueror/konqueror.rc.
I have disabled (unchecked) the options in the Settings/Extensions menu. No effect.
I suspect a brute force method of removing those options is to remove the plugins. I am not passing judgment on these features --- I see their usefulness. My concern is for those people who don't want the features. They should be able to disable them using the normal options. Right now I can't find the option to do that.
This is a usability issue, not a performance or stability issue.
Unless somebody has an answer then this is starting to look like a bug.

In my Trinity KDE 3.5.11 I have the search bar. Right clicking on the toolbar containing the location bar gives me the "Toolbar Menu". Selecting "Configure Toolbars" gives me a popup - with the default "Location Toolbar <konqueror>" selected. Clicking on the dropdown, I find "Search Toolbar <search>" listed. Selecting that and then dragging "Search Bar" from the left pane to the right, or versie-vicie, permits me to add and remove the Search Toolbar from konqueror's toolbar.
Stock KDE 3.5.11 here -- never did anything 'fiddly' to konqueror or KDE.

Yes, that is the way things should work. :) But the Search bar is not in my TDE list of options.
The search bar is available in KDE 3.5.10, but moving the option from one pane to the other makes no difference.
This is all strange --- and confusing.

Hello, without doing any special configuration, I just have to install the kdeaddons to get the search toolbar on TDE 3.5.13 built on RHEL 6. Kdeaddons also provides other konqueror bars, available in the toolbar configuration (user agent switch, babelfish, ...)
So I guess something is missing in your kdeaddons package. Maybe you should inspect your "./configure" output to see what is wrong.

I checked my kdeaddons package and /opt/trinity/share/apps/konqueror/kpartplugins. The following files exist:
searchbarplugin.desktop searchbar.rc searchbar.desktop
All three files have 644 permissions.
