SharePoint foundation 2013, Search option is NOT available in the site

Hi,

 

We have installed "SharePoint foundation 2013" and absolutely working fine, but the only problem is that "Search" option is NOT available inside the site. i have attached printscreen for ref, please let me know if some body aware how resolve it, or suggest if we need upgrade the version.

 

Current SharePoint Foundation 2013 details :

 

Version : 15.0.4569.1506

Name : SharePoint Foundation 2013 Service Pack 1

 

 

I have tried to fix the issue with below blog :

http://techtrainingnotes.blogspot.in/2015/03/sharepoint-2013-missing-search-box.html

 

and also with the below

‘Display Search Box’ is enabled on the web part properties, I’ve also tried re-applying the setting with no success.

 

 

Do you have any other suggestions?

    enable search service in the form. it should bring up the search box. You need to configure Search Service in the form to make that searchbox workable.
