I'm afraid something is not right with this patch. I tried to apply it, but 
returns FAILED hunks for externals/menu.phtml and then bails out completely on 
externals/header.phtml (invalid patch). Are you sure you created the patches 
against the current htdocs trunk ?

I want to do this one first to get search working as before again, so can you 
please recheck ?
