I can show you a screenshot from my demo where it works.

I can ask someone for dev team for a clue.

I guess, you cannot send me website backup as well?
I don't need images folder.
You didn't return me a copy of my site, but a Quickstart version. I know that the Quickstart version doesn't have a search problem. Let's go back to solving the problem.
In Quickstart -- there are only basic extensions and ours, none of them are causing JavaScript conflicts.
I think it would be better for you to use extra installed search module found on Joomla Extension Directory.
Or instead popup search use - link to search page from component, which always works.
