How do I get text search back on the toolbar

After adding IBM's Memory Analyzer and CGMV tools to my RAD8, I lost the search tool (flashlight) from the toolbar. I still have the context sensitive search, but that does not include text search. When I try to customize the toolbar to add search, it is not listed.

How do I get text search back on the toolbar. Thanks.

The option is called "file search, not "text search". 

How did you install the Memory analyzer and I'm not sure what CGMV is but how did you install that as well?
Can you attach a screen shot of the toolbar and the customize dialog?
(be sure to use the insert image from the toolbar, pasting the image looks like it works but it does not show up in the actual post)

In the meantime, is the search menu still available? That seems to open the same dialog as the search icon and lets me select the appropriate tab once it has been opened.

 I used help install new software

Cntl + H gives this no matter what perspective
J2EE perspective (no file search)
Java Perspective (still no file search)
Customize
Windows preferences (lost General so could not try one of the fixes)
Toolbar

 Tried these without luck


Another developer installed GCMV, but not Memory Analyzer or HeapAnalyzer, and he still has file search.

I backed out, one at a time, the following with no improvement ...

- IBM Monitoring and Diagnostic Tools for Java - Dump Analyzer, 2.2.2.20131025151944, com.ibm.java.diagnostics.dbda.isav4.feature.feature.group
- [Tech Preview] HeapAnalyzer, 4.5.2.00, com.ibm.esupport.tool.heapanalyzer.feature.feature.group

I backed out these two next, and the problem went away ...

I got the original install instructions from https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/blogs/troubleshootingjava/entry/ma_in_eclipse?lang=en

I wasn't able to repro but I'll try again with the exact version you are using.
I noticed a few references to RAD in the Stack Overflow link you posted so it may be reproducible.

Did the general option also come back under Windows preferences?

Yes. the General option came back too.
