If you type when the menu is open it should switch to search automatically.

Windows App Style

This is my favorite style. It doesn't have the search bar. I've tried to find the search bar, but it doesn't have it. Hopefully, my screenshot helps you. |-)

There isn't an option to display the Search bar in this Style, however as Neil said above, if you just start typing while the Start menu is open, the Search menu will appear.
