Search functionality cumbersome to use; need search box on top navbar

If I want to search the site - which is the premier and typical way to access its content - I need to:
- Locate the Search-related area on the top navigation bar (which is not difficult, but it doesn't immediately stand out, since it is not a highlit area, and has the same font and text color as other items on the navbar).
- Press it (which also takes a tiny amount of time, since you hesitate for a split-second regarding where exactly to press)
- Take a moment to figure out the pop-up dialog that's come up
- Click the text box at the bottom of the dialog
- Take a moment to adjust to adjust to the fact that a list has popped up under the text box, i.e. pop-up from a pop-up.
This is too inconvenient. Instead, a search box should be open on the top navigation bar. It's ok for a pop-up to appear under it, but all of the other stuff is a delay and a distraction and shouldn't happen IMNSHO.
