Which menu bar are you talking about? Can you give a screenshot to show exactly what’s missing—and is it in all apps or only some?

Sounds like the menubar at the top of the screen-OP mentions "i can see only see the search"... I'm frankly stumped at this one.

All right, so it’s the OS X menu bar, not the menu bar in individual apps.

Do you still see all the menus on the left-hand side (the  menu as well as the File, Edit, View, etc. menus relevant to the current app), or are those gone as well?

If these do appear, but everything in the right-hand side of the menu bar except the Spotlight search icon (i.e., volume, languages, WiFi signal, Bluetooth, etc.; depending on what you’ve configured to actually be displayed in the first place), then it’s possible you have an item in your login items that attempts to display an icon in the menu bar, but stalls or fails. This could cause the appearance of the rest of the icons to be delayed indefinitely, making it seem like they never show up.

Usually, though, the basic OS X icons are loaded before any third-party ones, so since they’re not showing either, it would have to be a problem with one of them, rather than a third-party icon.

Try disabling menu bar transparency. The setting is in System Preferences, Desktop & Screensavers.
