I remember, a while back, there was the same problem. When I start typing in the search box it bumps the search to the url bar. I hate that.
There was an about:config setting, but I can't find it. All I can find with a search is references to the "Awesomebar" one and that doesn't put it back in the new page search box.
What's the other setting?

Re: Search from new tab search box died
I see that when I start typing in the search box of the New tab page.
Don't see it if I have Search on the toolbar.
I don't use either and search from the address bar in the New tab page, or page I'm on if I'm done with it.

That is (now) the (Mozilla) expected behavior.When I start typing in the search box it bumps the search to the url bar. I hate that.
Why, you might ask? Easy. Because Chrome does it!
This should fix you up, 89 style is nice. But not search bar hijacking home page.
Fire 750, bring back 250.

Re: Search from new tab search box died
Search in about:config for 'handoff'. The preference is:
browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar
