I can't seem to find the appropriate setting to ensure that the drawer

in Documents and Drawer for instances of files).

That's because there is none such. :-) If desired you can use the "Quick Search" command (Cmd-Opt-F is the factory default) to open the drawer.

I think the preference search function is great, but not having the search function visible by default seems like a mistake to me. After using it once, I forgot it was there a week later and did my pre-8.5 dance through each pref section to find what I was looking for.

Making features accessible is as important as building them in the first place. The "show drawer" icon doesn't mean "let me search" to me.
