Is this on a Wikimedia wiki or on your own wiki? In which browser? How does it not work?

There is no drop-down box (Firebug shows that div.suggestions has "right:lots_of px", moving it off the screen). If you use up and down arrows suggested words appear in the input field.
This is on Wikimedia in Opera 10.60 and FireFox 3.6.6 with Vector skin and checked "Enable enhanced search suggestions (Vector skin only)" in preferences.
So this option does return old Go/Search buttons but breaks mwsuggest.

Wikimedia wiki, tried on Firefox 3.6.6, Chrome 5.0.375 and Safari 5, and happens when unchecking "Enable enhanced search suggestions (Vector skin only)"

Duping up to bug 24350 because that bug has technical information on how to fix it.
