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?

When will this be Actually fixed?  It happens repeatedly and is a frustrating waste of time to be deleting preferences not to mention having to set those back up each time.

If this were a common issue it would be reported every day. This discussion is 3 years old.

Start a new one with full details of your problem. I'm locking this one to avoid any confusion.
