Hi jzaruba,

Please try to make change in navigator.jsp palced in location sidebar/navigator.jsp.
Below are the highlighted changes you can make:

<r:navigator id="navigator" activeArea="#{NavigationBean.toolbarLocation}" />
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td><img src="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/images/parts/searchbar_begin.gif" width="6" height="31" alt=""/></td>
<td style="width:100%; background-image: url(<%=request.getContextPath()%>/images/parts/searchbar_bg.gif);">
<r:simpleSearch id="search" actionListener="#{BrowseBean.search}" />
</td>
<td><img src="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/images/parts/searchbar_end.gif" width="6" height="31" alt=""/></td>
</tr>

Thank you Amita, now when I'm more thinking of it the Sidebar might actually be a better place for the search input.

Navigator accepts only the <r:simpleSearch/> tag, it throws the rest (table markup) outside itself in the DOM, but that's OK.
(To modify the simpleSearch resulting markup one needs to modify org.alfresco.web.ui.repo.component.UISimpleSearch.java.)

P.S.: Can I click a 'thank you' anywhere?
