When you are in the Step-by-Step mode in TurboTax Desktop, you should see a Search icon in the top right corner of the screen. 

You will need to click on Step-by-Step to see the Search menu.

1. Are you using TurboTax Desktop on a Mac? On a Mac, you don't do a Search, instead you go to Topic List, and look for the thing you are searching for.

2. Do you have your TurboTax window maximized? Sometimes I notice that if I don't have the TurboTax window expanded as much as possible, certain features are not visible.

Okay, so the full answer to no SEARCH item is:

On a Windows system, use the Step-by-Step View

Maximize the TT window

SEARCH will be on the same line as PERSONAL INFO

If you look closely, a double-arrow on a non-maximized window is at the far right. Click, and SEARCH shows up.

This has been quite a year for me with TurboTax. You and the community have explained the difficult (this year) interface, and saved me almost $1000 in miscalculated taxes that TT said I owed.
