There doesn't have to be one solution and this is hardly an issue where such a hardline approach is warranted. There is nothing cold, stark or undifferentiated about Kickoff and its search bar now. It's just that it's a problem for people who aren't as intuitive with finding their way in a UI. And slapping on a white opaque box with bright blue outer glow just like it was in KDE 4 doesn't seem like preserving minimalism either. It isn't even just about design because there is no need to have that kind of a prominent box sticking out there the whole time if it's not being used the whole time. I can even support you in making the searchbox show up at all times as a default, but I urge you again to please consider leaving an option to have it the same as it is.
