It's not done yet.  :-)  There, we knew that was coming.  The entire
header is going to be redone to reduce the amount of vertical space it
takes.

Search might end up at the top of the nav, or maybe somewhere back in
the header.  I think the plan is to test it a few different ways and
do a poll as well.

Wireframes and a blog post explaining it all forthcoming.
