We are using Windows 8 and the Web Developer tool bar is now installed.

However, after using Edit CSS, the Search box to search thru CSS is disabled. I don't see how to enable it, or moreso, why it's disabled at all.

I can't click in the box in Windows 7, either. This is a known problem:

For now, you might want to explore the built-in style editor (Shift+F7) as a temporary workaround. Press Ctrl+f or right-click in the style sheet edit control to access find.

Sounds like a known problem from what I have read now. Try version 1.1.9. It works a treat.
