The instance I'm on got updated to 4.2 yesterday, but the new search still isn't working for me.
Usually, I'd have thought this was because it needed to take time to index all the posts, but people on other servers are saying that the search is working for them. 🤔
Search only works if your instance runs a search engine installation. Typically this is done by the admin installing ElasticSearch:

Ah, I see. I'll have to ask my admin whether it's going to be added or not.
