I love all this stuff, but I feel the one search does all would be best all around, one simple search field like at the top, search and be done with it. now the thing here that's concerns me is the load factor on the server if a bunch are searching the data base at the same time, but you can do as I've seen be for a limit the amount of search per set a time, and no search or controlled search for quest.

The link to the extended or advance search could be placed also as a tree link  :)like Mentioned or something there of!

but I love the drop down it could still be used for something I'm thinking of, will start new topic on another day!

Right I should have used the word Quick rather than simple, then that makes something else to be considered as you mention. I'm just so use to the quick search thing!

On my sites I have only the 2  the quick ( field) and link to the Advanced! I think?

Something that comes to mind in the SMF simple and advanced search is that the simple search will deend on what page or section of the form you are in while search, and the advanced seach, will search the complete sites database.
 
I know your saying Duh!, but some may not realized this, ( the member and or Visitor ) so this where Arantor's idea is very relivant in the consolidation of the search, why not just go direct to the complete site search to start with,this way your user will find the item or rev number they are looking for right off. Makes for user friendliness!

Simple is a good thing!

+! on the Smiley and +1 on who needs a search menu. You need not search for a menu or the search they are there...
I guest when U click the seach link it should take you to the advanced search field, that way it will give purpose to it!

I personaly do not like the way some theme have many text links and button, you need hover over to see what they are, unless they are on a main, menu and then again some take it too far with that. text links are cool, old fashion in one respect but the site map ( LText link menu thing is less code and SEO / Mobile friendly. and also be more used everyday!

If I'm on the right page and your talking removing the drop down fro the menu, I'm all for that and just having a search field would be much cleaner and less cramming of the menu items. How about mouse over drop down from the search button (quick or advanced) or would be an even bigger mess?

I thinking your, thinking a drop down select off to the side?

or how about a search widget type thing or plug-in, then you could apply setting for the Admins>>for use on side panel?

Don't mind me just talking out !

Just and FYI... I found surfing flex stuff
:
http://coding.smashingmagazine.com/2011/09/19/css3-flexible-box-layout-explained/


Also in this article:

A Word on Firefox The flexbox model was, at least originally, based on a syntax that Mozilla used in its products. That syntax, called XUL, is a mark-up language designed for user interfaces.
The irony here is that Firefox is still catching up, and its rendering of some flexbox properties can be buggy. Below are some issues to watch out for, which future releases of Firefox will fix. Credit here must go to the uber-smart Peter Gasston and Oli Studholme, giants on whose shoulders I stand.
 
  • Flexbox ignores overflow: hidden and expands the flexbox child when the content is larger than the child’s width.
  • The setting display: box is treated as display: inline-box if there is no width.
  • The outline on flexbox children is padded as if by a transparent border of the same width.
  • The setting box-align: justify does not work in Firefox.
  • If you set box-flex to 0, Firefox forces the element to act like it’s using the quirks-mode box model.
