Hi again keepitsimpleengr, thanks for getting back with the info! Ok, it seems that once the window was resized the search bar has reappeared. I'm not quite sure how the window would have gotten to that small size as it is constrained to always be large enough to show the search bar widget.
In any case, I will close this bug based on your comment #7 and your screenshot. Please be sure to reopen if this problem appears again, and please report any other issues or problems you may encounter as you use Software Center. Your help is very much appreciated!
