The original idea for quick search in bug 337654 might still be worth pursuing. (small textbox in corner of page)

so there are a few issues with this patch:

1. It only works on branch. I don't know why trunk refuses to let it work.
2. It leaves crap behind when you scroll on linux. Probably is fine on other platforms, need to test.
3. It obscures the lower left corner of the page. Now, this wouldn't be a big problem except for the fact that:
4. If we find something that's not visible, we'll scroll down till we make it visible, and if that's on the left side of the page, it will be obscured.

There's some extra space after the textbox that needs to be removed, but otherwise this is pretty close to what it should look.
