I just recently switched from version 8 to version 9 (9.0.180, to be exact). It used to be that if I highlighted 'Media Library' in the left tree, a search box would appear at the top and if I typed a word into it, a short list of tracks that matched that word would be shown on the right.
But now, if I highlight Media Library on the left, I get a search box at the top, but I can't type anything in it. There's a cursor, but nothing appears when I type. (There's also a little text that says 'type here or click the wizard button to search') I can do a quick search from the pull down menus (but not by hitting ctrl-q), but that doesn't give me a short list either, it just highlights the matching tracks.
Is the old functionality hiding somewhere else? Am I doing something wrong? The Help files seem to say that I should be able to type into that box. Can anyone straighten me out? Thanks so much.

Um, I just decided to try closing down and restarting MC. Now the search box works just like it did in version 8. Yay! But what did I do to it to make it not work before? I'd like to avoid it in the future...

I am of the sound mind when I say that upgrading versions by installing over the top of the old is problematic...I've always uninstalled first. But your up & running so...?

I've had that before in properties, without an upgrade. A stop and start fixes it.
