Dead! Search the Web and Windows
Something seems to have changed, so that I am no longer able to type anything in to the search space. How may Have caused that to happen? And, please, how do I rectify?

Hi, could you clarify, perhaps with a screenshot to be sure, which search space?
Possibilities:
A browser search field
Explorer search
Settings search
Cortana search
Thanks!
Reading from your title, I have a feeling your Cortana is NOT enabled.
Before Cortana is enabled, the search bar will say " Search the web and Windows "
After Cortana is enabled, the search bar will say " Ask me anything "
As far as I can remember, if Cortana is not enabled, the search bar will not function.
What "trial period "?
You are running Enterprise evaluation version ?
I know nothing about Enterprise version.
I apologize and allow me to bow out.
Try it : Index - Rebuild - Windows 7 Help Forums
Everything is identical for windows 10.
A single go may not work. Try it thrice. Rebuild > Restart > Rebuild > Restart > Rebuild > Restart
Hopefully the search function will be back at its place.
If you press the Windows key and S, a Cortana window should open. Could you post a screenshot- and how many icons do you see down the left side?
Is any helpful message displayed?
If you open Settings, Privacy, General, do you see any message in red?
Click the Action Centre icon in the system tray - is the Location tile 'lit' (on)?
Have you made any changes to Language settings?
Do you have any system restore points you could use, or other backups (system image or disk image)?
