yeah, I also modified the search.bundle but reverting it didn't help. I did not modify anything else. can someone attach a working search.bundle file to his/her post?
 
All you have to do is rename your Search.bundle to something else then restart SystemUIServer. It worked for me, and it worked for others whose problem wasn't fixed by chmod 0755.
