Emptying out the system preference should do the trick. I just tested it
on master (to be 19.11). Make sure you remove everything, including any
whitespace.

I can spot one error here: ...//cgi-bin... should be .../cgi-bin... Also
you are missing the closing </select> and I'd suggest to remove the
<p></p> tags. This seems to give an ok (even if not great looking) result:

<form name="searchform" method="get"
action="/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl"
id="searchform">
<input id="transl1" name="q" type="text">
<select name="idx" id="masthead_search">
<option value="kw">Keyword</option>
<option value="ti">Title</option>
<option value="au">Author</option>
<option value="su">Subject</option>
<option value="nb">ISBN</option>
<option value="se">Series</option>
<option value="callnum">Call Number</option>
</select>
<input value="Search" id="searchsubmit" type="submit">
</form>

Hope this helps,

Katrin
