There are two more things which may cause confusion:

If search is disabled for anonymous users the form is still being displayed, as well as the icon. This leads to people assuming search is allowed but somehow broken. Wouldn't it be nicer not to show the form at all unless it's enabled? That would be more consistant to other features in FUD which already behave that way.

If an anonymous person views someone's profile a link stating "click here to email the user" is provided. Clicking it, however triggers an error message that someone isn't logged in. A lot of people assume if the link is around then they are allowed to send a message via this form (I ve seen it a lot in the error log). Not displaying the link if it isn't allowed would avoid this situation.

I myself feel more comfortable if things I'm not allowed to use aren't around than if a lot of things are there which spit error messages when touching them. Gives one the feeling not to be welcome somehow.
