Hi @Szyszka, Joe ,
According to your two site screenshots, it seems that one of them is a classic site and another one is a modern site. The site which does not display the search dropdown is a modern site. You could try to return the modern site to a classic site and search again or just click "Go to classic results page" in the search result page.
