I'd guess the reason for this is that the searches on those two forms are 
constructed differently. In particular, the sidebar search is explicitly a 
db search, where the searches on the advanced search pages are not of an 
explicitly defined type, so they may default to text searches, depending 
upon how your catalog is configured. Also, the sidebar search contains a 
few lines which try to exclude items which have their 'inactive' field set 
to Yes (1); the advanced searches do not.

So if you want to poke around in those search forms a bit, you can probably 
change one or the other so that they behave in a more consistent manner.
