I believe 3.4 shares the registry settings for the database search position with 4.x, so if you can't find it with one you probably won't with the other either.

A couple years ago I was at a friends show where his hired host lost the search window. This was a new problem to me so I had very little to suggest and without the ability to reference the forums I couldn't remember how to reset the registry. His shows/books do not use bookids and he had no listing of them anywhere, he was totally dependant on that search window. After about a half hour someone made a good guess with the mouse and managed to pluck the thing out of the abyss.

After this I "new feature" requested a button that would reset it (and the SND since that was often getting lost as well).
Maybe in "Help" there could be a selection that would take one to an emergency troubleshhoting section of the manual that might address these things??
