   Knowing little about PHP, I tried adding this code to my header:

   <?php
   function wp_widget_search($args) {
   extract($args);
   ?>
   <?php echo $before_widget; ?>
   <form id="searchform" method="get" action="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?>">
   <div>
   <input type="text" name="s" id="s" size="15" />
   <input type="submit" value="<?php echo attribute_escape(__('Search')); ?>" />
   </div>
   </form>
   <?php echo $after_widget; ?>
   <?php
   }
   ?>

   And probably unsurprisingly I got a fatal error. :)

   Can anyone tell me how to add the search functionality to somewhere other then the sidebar?

   Don't double post. All you need to add is this code.

   <form method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/">
   <div><input type="text" value="<?php the_search_query(); ?>" name="s" id="s" />
   <input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="Search" />
   </div>
   </form>
