Stable Debian is currently on 3.4, unstable Debian is on 3.8 and the
GNOME stable release which is happening in a week and a half is 3.12.
That is to say, that the "stable" Debian ships with a two year old
version of GNOME. You can try using the unstable Debian (which I hear
is actually pretty stable in terms of usage).

It's probably relatively difficult to use the same version of GNOME as
I'm using (3.10) from Debian, but I don't know how to do it as I
haven't used Debian in years.

The UI for disabling search providers was in GNOME by 3.8. It is also
possible that what you had were extensions:
