Comment(by garycmartin):

 From my dev email:
   Hmmm, just installed 8.2-764. I don't think the expected behaviour is
 that the Home view search be permanently disabled/deactivated? If I go to
 List view, it's works as before, but on the graphical layout home view
 (ring, random) the activity search fill area doesn't accept input, has a
 black fill, and has dark grey outline and looking-glass icon.

 Oh my, so the very first view of home will be some zero information,
 disabled ghost widget cruft, that you can't interact with, dirtying the
 top right of the toolbar.? I can see all the promo screen shots announcing
 the new look Sugar home. I take it a certain baseball match rushed this
 final solution... I do hope they won!

 Any slight chance of a reprieve? Can't it be left on, but just not get
 input focus by default, until one of the other better solutions can be
 implemented? That way the kid would have to of clicked purposefully into
 the search area before typing.
