Is that a UI design pattern to decrease server load?

There's nothing intrinsically wrong with search in the footer, but it defies 15 years of convention and thus takes a big hit to discoverability.

How long has it existed? How did I miss this?
it's basically unusable for anyone using an auto page loading extension like AutoPatchWork since the auto loaded next page replaces the bottom of the page.
