Hi ferrouswheel, and thank you for your report. Actually, it is by design that the search field is hidden when viewing the details view for a package. The reason is that since you are viewing a single package, there is no "domain" of packages to search over.

This is consistent with the Software Center design specification:

  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#Software_item_screen

There is a statement in this section "A software item screen is not searchable. "

Based on this, I'll close this one. Thank you for your help!
