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.

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.

"orphan" issue where
the search

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.
On "clean" installs I have had toolbar

original *.ini

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.

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.
