Hi!

For small screen resolutions like 800*600 (e.g. on Netbooks) the search 
field is not visible for a long time and I guess this is still the case 
today. It was often requested (here, on talk-de or both?) to make it 
visible without scrolling on such machines.

The problem exists for a long time, but it's just not "visible" on your 
or my screen ;-)
