Help! The find and replace dialog box won't show up in Indesign

The find/replace dialog box will not show up in InDesign no matter what I do. It suddenly disappeared and I cannot get it to reappear using the keyboard shortcut or selecting from the menu, even though it is not "greyed out" . Have tried restarting and closing all dialog windows. Any solutions?

    2. (Mac OS) Start InDesign, and then immediately press Shift+Option+Command+Control. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files.
