For some reason, using 5.3.6 on OSX Lion, I can't search for stencils. See the screenshot below:



If I click on the arrows on the side, I get a popup with the word search greyed out.

Any ideas?

What happens if you make the window wide enough that it doesn't stuff the search field in a menu? I know another Omni app has a similar issue.

wow that worked, but i never would have guessed i needed to stretch it wider

pretty bad UI in my opinion

As I said, there's a bug. I can't actually get the window to behave that way on my system (still on Snow Leopard), but in another Omni app where you can configure the toolbar, I see similar behavior when the window is narrow enough that the search field is forced into a menu. Judging from the behavior of some Apple apps that I tried (Preview and Finder), perhaps Omni hasn't implemented the code to handle the case where the search field is forced into a menu, and that's why it gets grayed out.

Thank you for posting the solution! I was having the same problem and I couldn't figure it out either.
