I'm having a hard time understanding how a little white text field that
sits out of the way of the main page is ever considered clutter by
anyone.

Having a search component readily available is a critical piece on
sites that have a lot of "items" to look through.  When I go to
Amazon.com, I very rarely look for my item by browsing through the
categories.  I usually use the search function to find it.  Likewise,
when I'm looking for a certain song, I'd much rather just search for it
rather than going through the multiple clicks required for a browse.

How many times have you seen advice on these forums to "browse" for the
answer their looking for?  *Never*.  It's always "search".  ;-)
