The search location box for Downloads is down, but the firefox-searchBox is Up in the user interface, the places search box is up, the get-add-ons search box is up.
I think an uniform interface is better for user experience. The differents search box must be ever in the same place in the window, I believe.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Download Manager
2. Look for the search box
Actual Results:  
The downloads search box is down

Expected Results:  
The downloads search box must be up

Whoops - forgot about this bug.  I should have used this one, but I've linked to the newer bug in some newsgroup posts already...

Ok, but the duplicated post is your own, my bug-post is older, previous than your!

Finally, I hope Firefox3 don't change this for (tomorrow) release.

I attach the XUL-file for Downloads Window with a small change (copy&move some code-lines: the id=search xmlElement before the downloadView xmlElement). With this, the search box and clear list button are up in the window -over the downloads list-. I think this is better than the default.
