Thank you to both respondents. Those hints were all I needed. I didn't know that all it needed was a link, and that I could put that link in my customized header.
I am going to give a detailed account of how I customized my header, and then added the "search" link, as my way of saying thank you for this software. I hope this helps someone else with their web forum.

To modify your header with pictures and links, log into your forum as admin
select "templates & style"
select "Templates"
select "default templates"
select "Header Templates"
select "header" select "options" select "full edit"
This is the generic script I use
<div id="container">
<center>
<table id="header" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>

<ul id = "headerNav">
