"Twitter's old search box" didn't function like Summize/TwitterSearch. It was only for looking up users by name or location. Now instead of being immediately available, you must click on <Find People> at the top right, then click on <Search>.
AFAIK, Twitter has never had a generic search functionality until it acquired Summize, but even then a person had to know to go to http://search.twitter.com because there wasn't a link from the site itself.
