The one solution offered on this list didn't fix the problem.
However, my Linux geek brother managed to fix it by simply having me re-name the Evolution directory in my home directory. I re-named it Evolution_old, and re-started Evolution. Then I immediately saw that the search-bar situation was fixed. From that point I used the File | Import facility to import the various mbox files to the new directory. Problem solved.
I mention this because apparently I wasn't the only person suffering from the problem.
