Running Civi 4.4.6 on Drupal 7.  I'm trying to remove 3 options we won't be using in the Quick Search.  I have added Navigation.extra.tpl to my custom templates directory\templates\CRM\common.  The file has the following code:
{literal}
<script>
cj('.innerbox li:nth-child(2)').hide();
cj('.innerbox li:nth-child(3)').hide();
cj('.innerbox li:last-child').hide();
</script>
{/literal}
The code does not work (the options are still there when I clear the cache and use QuickSearch), yet if I individually put those lines into Firebug's console, the options disappear.  Any ideas on why my jQuery is not working when placed in the tpl file?  Thanks for any help!

JonGold,
Thanks so much for the reminder that the solution doesn't *have* to be jQuery.  I tried the console.Log approach and as you suggested, something must have been wrong with my naming/folder convention.  Needing to push on and not spend more time on it, I followed the suggestion of point 1 on the template page (http://book.civicrm.org/developer/current/techniques/templates/), and went the CSS route through my Drupal theme.  Thanks again for helping!

UPDATE -- my previously noted selectors were too generic.  Turns out they selected the 2nd, 3rd and last items of each menu in the black toolbar across the top, not just the Quick Search.  Per Jon's suggestion, I overrode the Navigation.tpl and commented out the QuickSearch options we don't need.  Not ideal, by any means, but in the case with limited time, effective.
