Not with just a header.  http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp/Teach/IntroSES/
is a (very primitive and not stylistically improved in years) example
of a frame-based layout that I use some of my classes.  I would
put a search field in the top frame (if I had one. :-)  But I suppose you
would find the fixed sidebar distracting.

I suspect you're unusual in that, but I guess it just is going
to bug you no matter what, and I personally don't have
*that* strong a preference either way.
