I will say that when the search function is big and very noticeable, the position may not matter as much, but I still think that is wise to have it in the top right of the site just for consistency.

I don't think positioning matters too much as long as it's big enough to see your queries in (32 characters says Jakob Nielsen) and at the top - left, middle or right hand side - if it's easy to find it's all good. That second example is crazy what were they thinking?! I find it interesting that Amazon uses the search in the middle like the Food Network.
