I just migrated Thunderbird to a Win 8.1 box from a Vista machine using MozBackup. Everything appears to be working just fine except for the search function. When I type a search term in the box, the usual 'messages mentioning: <term>' and the 'search the web for: <term>' come up, but if I click on 'messages mentioning', nothing happens. If I click on the magnifying glass, I get a search tab opened up, but it's totally blank. Have I missed something in configuring TB? Any other ideas?

TIA...

Yes, everything on the left pane is correct. The only issue is, as stated, the search function.
