You assume I am the only person with this problem as I am someone who talks about the issue.

It's not really about "we want to keep our website basic", it is common practice for a website to put a search bar on the right top of a website. It helps, it improves the website as it puts something in a place where people expect it. If people are looking for a way to search a website, they will immediately go to the top of a website as they expect to find a search bar / link there.

If it wasn't useful, major websites wouldn't have it. As Chute keeps saying, Joomla is the best framework there is, so if their website uses it, then I don't see why this website wouldn't.
