Q: Safari not working iPhone 5 just does a continues to search. I have reset my phone.

Not clear what you mean by "does a continues to search" or "continues to load and lock on the screen."  Maybe you mean that web sites don't open or load??

If so, and taking a guess that you have iOS 8.3, try:

Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data

I have also notice that the Lock is absent from the search window. (If that matters)

Sorry, no clue what you mean by that.  There is no search "window" in Safari

iOS version? iPhone model? Jailbroken??

"Jailbroken" means unauthorized modification of the phone to allow installing unapproved apps and is the most common cause of instability and bizarre behavior of iPhones.  See this:

Unauthorized modification of iOS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues

If your phone isn't jailbroken, try these steps as needed (assuming you've already done the phone reset and have internet connection with other apps):

1. Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

2. Restore to factory settings, also restoring a backup

3. Restore to factory settings without restoring a backup (as a new phone)

Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

I notice a Lock the in Search Window of working iPhone (Web Search).  example -  Lock  Yahoo,com

If you're referring to the search box there is no "lock" icon in iOS Safari and the search engine (i.e. Yahoo) is set in Settings > Safari > Search engine"

Also noticed the controls like the word setting has a dark (shaded) back ground to them

Again, there is no "word setting control" - no idea what you mean by that.  If English isn't your primary language, get help posting or post in your native language.  Did you follow the suggestion in my last post?
