Probably, but I only did that menu on my site for you to preview. It seems there's a couple of link styles.
I think that hover should be active, but to me the hover currently seems like the item is un-selected because it goes to a color closer to the background. Using underline seems to be a bit more lively.
If everyone is +0 then it's not worth the effort, but I think the site could use a little more spice.
I'm +1 after all, I've been told that the site looks "a little grey", so it's ok to liven it up. But I think we should only keep it like that in the menu, it's not an issue anywhere else. And you're +1 too, so I think we can go with this change, as there aren't many objections I think.

+1 on this.

The problem was that Netscape 4 made the input field so huge, but maybe that's fixed with the style sheet addition.
If I understand correctly, you don't really like the side-bar search because it uses too much space? I'd agree there.
I think we could make the search a small input box and a graphic button.
We made the change, and I think it looks good as-is. Not that it matters very much to me, but it's much more eye-catching like this.
