What permission enables the search bar?

What permission enables the search bar above? I do NOT want the Advanced Search features - I just want users to be able to search for a keyword in their course titles.

Reason: Our courses do not have start/end dates. We want users to be able to access the materials at any time. Eventually users self-enroll in a lot of courses, and it becomes a bit of a pain for them to have to find the specific course they're looking for. (There's a widget on our main course page that they can search on, but clicking the 9 square icon in the top-right of the screen is easier to find.)
