Solved. No Search Position in 3.x quickstart

I loaded the 3.x quickstart to check out the template features. There was no search icon, and since search was important to me I went looking.
Seems that there is no search position available in the position selection. It was in the code but missing from the templateDetails.xml file in the template. So I added this line under positions <position>search</position>. All is well now and search all works fine with the standard Joomla search module published in this position.
Might help others, but I think that line is missing from the quickstart package.

It is desired behave. If you will check modules position availability:
http://demo.gavick.com/joomla25/storefr ... -positions
you will see that some of them are little bit dimmed - those are modules reserved for the template purpose. Making them unavailable protects some users who would like to try put there anything else than search module - which might broken the layout.
Yet sometimes you need to add there a search module itself if it wasn't there before - then you tip is 100% accurate :).
