So, in fact it's a button disguised as a text-box over the entire width of the screen.
Can any of the developers (a word that is getting ever harder for me to use) explain what's the point of this?
Just how were you planning on typing in the search box without popping up the search dialog? There is no keyboard on the home screen. Copy/paste?

This was discussed a while back where the suggestion was made to move search (along with several other functions) back to a small button in the top bar of the home screen freeing up some screen real estate.

As to why they made Sync non-dismissable in 2.6.1? Great Ghu alone knows. Check davidfor's KoboUtilities which will let you dismiss quite a few tiles from the home screen including Sync without manually editing the database.
