I have downloaded a .chm file that is a basic python help file. When I open it using Sumatra, it does not have the search bar that has always been there for other documents. Is there anything I can do to enable help file search for this file in Sumatra? Or is there a better app for viewing .chm files that would do this automatically?

Searching eg. CHM's is only possible if you switch ChmUI to UseFixedPageUI.
Go to Settings > Advanced Options and set the following option to true. If true, the UI used for PDF documents will be used for CHM documents as well.
ChmUI [
UseFixedPageUI = true
]
If you don't want to change this option you can switch quickly from Sumatra PDF to Microsoft HTMLHelp Viewer (File > Open in Microsoft HTML Help) for using the CHM's build in search tab (in German "Suchen") on Windows.
You'll find some further information about Full Text Search Help Viewer when using Microsoft's Help Viewer.
