Dickvl, I don't know it your question was directed to me, but when I was still using the search bar, I located it on the same line as my tabs but to the right. That worked out fine, but my current configuration, as described in my most recent previous post, is even better, as it requires no real estate whatever for the search bar.

Yes, I was already assuming from what you wrote that you have placed the search bar on the tab bar, but wanted to confirm this.
I don't know how the tab bar performs when placed on the Tab bar because the width of tabs is flexible.

It would probably be best to use userChrome.css to set a specific width to the search bar.
You can try something like this in your userChrome.css if you already use this file.

Code: Select all

#search-container {min-width: 400px !important;}
