Hello website dev'ers,
I was wondering, why did we implement a search bar in the upper left
corner? I experimented last week on sc40 [1], but then I thought the
search is always, except for the main page, being implemented in the
side bar. So why not always? Using the upperright corner only for login
(which people have been missing there) and place the search on a spot
yet to determine on the main page? Another option of course maybe to go
with the current proposal similar to that on sc40 (css isn't optimal
yet) and get rid of the search bars all sidebars. But having two search
boxes is completely wrong [2].
I always thought the current situation (with changing login/search) was
confusing, however the best solution we could think of at that time.
Or did I forget about some reasoning behind the previous decisions?

[2] See for an example:
http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/features/2.0/index.html (or any
other page in the www subdomain). This is due to problems with the
scripting language of the sourcecast-system, which doesn't allow for
selects on page level, so for having a search instead of a login on the
homepage we had to apply this change for the whole www-subdomain.
However, this doens't make this a good thing.
