Google Search bar Location
I forget where I saw this but I stumbled across a page that did research into where visitors of a site expect to find certain things and generally speaking people expect the search box to be somewhere near the upper right on a page. So, that is where I think you should put it, right on top of the banner even.
I had some free time on my hands so I made a little mockup for ya
But, you could also move your navigation down a little and put it above that but as you can see things get a little tight.
Also, I know you didn't ask about it, but I think that your site could benefit from a drop shadow added to the sides of the main content area as seen in the top image. It just helps to seperate it from that background grey a little bit.
