Does it bother you when the header is fixed and contains the search box?  I prefer that arrangement, anyway. Do you have an example website?

Not with just a header. http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp/Teach/IntroSES/ is a (very primitive and not stylistically improved in years) example of a frame-based layout that I use some of my classes. I would put a search field in the top frame (if I had one. :-) But I suppose you would find the fixed sidebar distracting.

In general fixed elements distract me greatly. This also applies to the '<<' element in the collapsible sidebar. When I'm scrolling, it's almost the center of my attention (when I should be focusing on the text).

I suspect you're unusual in that, but I guess it just is going to bug you no matter what, and I personally don't have that strong a preference either way.
