(if this link does not show anything different yet, try later)
In order to encourage searches, I'm thinking of this minor design change to the navigation bar. If you have a strong opinion either way about it, post why. If it was implemented, any and all lhs navigation on any page would appear with this addition.

Madison, AL | Re: RFQ - search box I like the idea, but I don't like the layout. It makes the left sidebar look a bit disjointed. How about placing it between "About us" and the key? |

Because people don't look lower down when they come to a new site (and want to find something).
Check the home page of amazon etc.
I wanted to make it a "box", not integrated into the vertical column, hence the little bit of white space. But I can try it without that gap. |

I like it. It definitely draws your eye to it, although the gap between the search box and Members really should be tighter (for cosmetic reasons).
Other than that, I really like it.

Anything added to BBR that will facilitate the use of the Search tools gets a thumbs up from me.

LOVE IT. Lots of sites I visit have a search box on a left or right nav bar, so I'm kind of in the habit of going there anyway. |

| reply to justin
omg... can't believe you did that so quickly. search just keeps getting better and better 
implement! implement!
on the Quick Search results page i think we might need a link to to »/allsearch mainly for "Other Search Pages" etc.
 thanks

The new look is excellent. I think it should be put up site wide.

Looks good..but I would have liked it better if the "search" was above the icons. I don't especially like have to mouse over the search feature just to "click" on the icons..just my opinion
Edit: Also I think the icons are much more difficult to notice on the sidebar..

Re: RFC - search box I like it. It will hopefully attract even more members and decrease the number of duplicate questions/threads.
