This moves the search field up before the navigation. It's quite commmon that search is near the top of the page. Also, this results in a fixed position, because navigation is page dependent and may be long, which could move the search field far down or even off-page in the old layout. The searchfield component (sphinx-doc/sphinx#11045) is more compact and does not have a heading, which reduces clutter and gives more focus to the content sections.

Edit: This would require bumping the dependency to 6.2 (Relased Apr 2023), where the new
searchfieldcomponent was introduced. Is it feasible to bumb the min-version of sphinx to 6.2? I assume nothing really bad would happen. Users with older versions of sphinx would just not get newer versions of the theme.This moves the search field up before the navigation. It's quite commmon that search is near the top of the page.
