I am not too certain that placing this box on every page (in the header/ menubar) is a good idea, for clutrical reasons. The <a href="http://cwdb.b4k4.ath.cx/search.php">search</a> page would be perfectly suited to it, being somewhat of an Advanced search view. The main/front/news page might be deserving of a search box too. Regarding the search-where dropdown, it’s an idea I’ve been playing with for a while.

Not entirely related to your question, but one I felt was worth sharing. And thus: on the front page especially, a small dropdown box to the right of the search box that lets you limit what data fields you're searching, much in the same way as my local library ( http://catalog.cantonpl.org/ ) does. Two things I can't remember: one, if I've already suggested this at some point, and two, if you already turned the idea down as cluttering the interface too much. BUT~! I am lazy and would like to be able to trigger a more specific search than I am currently able to, directly from the main page, and so I will suggest it anyway. A thought!
