Jensen Harris' blog was deleted when Microsoft replaced their dev blogs platform, but it went into great detail on the creation of the Ribbon. As far as I can remember, search couldn't be ready in time for the initial release.

That rings true. From memory there was a plug-in that added it later, and I asked why we didn’t release it and was told that if users were given the option it would subsume more and more functionality until it became unwieldy and difficult to use. Also since it would be cheap and flexible there would be a push to use search even when not ideal.
