Little "quicksearch" on the top right corner

I am one among many ex-gentooers converted to arch. I do not miss almost anything: but there is a little feature of the forums I really miss and, since I think that it is a little detail, I wonder if someone else misses the same detail.

I am referring to the little "quicksearch" form on the top right corner of any page in the forums, which allows the browsing user to make simple searches throughout the forums, without following the link "search" and filling a more articulate form.

I think that, while being a detail, it is a relevant detail: if users are allowed to do fast and easy searches, it is less likely that they ask already answered questions.

Is is difficult to implement this litle feature? Are there specific reasons why it is not welcome?

Thanks for your attention.

Although I'm not an ex-gentoo user I would really appreciate it a lot if this feature could be implemented.

Or in other words:

Oh, so you fully admit that it's just laziness that stops people searching?  I thought they just couldn't find the button!  Silly me...

Re: Little "quicksearch" on the top right corner

Alright, guys, I already found the mod.  If someone could actually fix the Grand Unified Arch Header so that it doesn't set padding 0 for the whole of archlinux.org it would greatly facilitate the process.  Have a word would you, Phrak?

Re: Little "quicksearch" on the top right corner

I would like to reiterate this proposal. Since the forums are going to use PunBB, this is a link where there is an example for a "quicksearch":

Re: Little "quicksearch" on the top right corner

I've thought about this many times, but also thought it was so obvious that i had to be a technical reason for not having the quicksearch :S
So...

Sorry, I don't use Firefox ;-) Konqueror is so much better and faster :-)
