As to the empty or incomplete search box:
-- open Windows Explorer and find the srchasst.inf file in the Windows\Inf folder;
-- right-click on that file and click Install on the context menu;
-- have your WXP CD nearby;
-- reboot when the process is done.

Note:  the Windows\Inf folder is a hidden folder. You need to make sure that on the View tab of Windows Explorer Folder Options, "Show hidden files and folders" is checked.
