Component: base system » search.module

search.module provides a "search box" to the theme (configured on the themes admin page) and the "search block" that is configured on the blocks admin page.

Could be considered a usability bug I guess, it did confuse me for a while!

print $search_box;

Is being called in the left sidebar in the page.tpl.php file

Enjoy

Ok, i have found that - it's settings, but it's not trivial!
I gather all my intuition for that.
I suggest make this option disable by default.

removal
when editing block distribution, search box always appear on the left even when the left sidebar is empty, because is detecting variable $left as not empty (when in admin/build/block)
this is certainly confusing, because after applying an empty left sidebar the search box will appear in the right sidebar every page except admin/build/block

The theme variable was already dropped in favor of the search block.
