That's just one fixed html form in the simplest case, right? That can be 
easily added to the top of the TOC frame by simply adding the appropriate 
html in the function lilypond_print_toc_div in the init file. Currently, 
there is:
    print $fh "\n\n<div id=\"tocframe\">\n";
    print $fh '<h4> ' . $Texi2HTML::NAME{'Contents'}  . "</h4>\n";
etc.
All that needs to be done is to print out the html for the search form. 
Of course, ideally it should search only in the doc of the current version, 
not in all manuals of all previous versions (like the search bar on the 
lilypond.org page does...).

Cheers,
Reinhold
