The placement of the search box in Zen 6.x-1.x is right next to the primary and secondary links. This may make sense semantically (search is a type of site navigation), but rarely does the search box get placed inline with the primary links, so its placement is awkward from a CSS point of view.

In Drupal 7, the search box is in the header, just below the logo/sitename/slogan and just above the header region.

This places the search box near the top of the HTML source. Many users of assistive technology look for the search box as the first form on the page.

Moving the search box will also have the added bonus of simplifying the CSS and some PHP in the page.tpl.php.
