When I right click on a folder in Explorer and I click Search, normally a search window comes up. Since I installed LiteStep it doesn't work anymore. Please help.

yes that function does not work with alternative shells. you might want to try a little tool to find files. it´s faster than the explorer funtion anyways.
get find.zip from here: http://www.shellfront.org/utils/

try loading the msdde.dll module, that fixes the search option among others

That module is obsolete. Put "LSUseSystemDDE" into your step.rc instead. In fact, loading msdde in 0.24.7 may make matters even worse, because .7 already includes an internal DDE server (based on liteman.dll), so they might conflict. LSUseSystemDDE tells .7 to switch to the "msdde" method. It has a few sideeffects (especially with older systray modules), that's why it's not enabled by default.
