Display the Title Row (Top Navigation) in the Search Centers of SharePoint 2013
post
When working with the new search centers in SharePoint 2013, the first thing that you will notice is that the title row is different compared with for example a standard Team Site.
As you can see, the title row (red box) where the top navigation should be, is replaced by the search icon and search box (orange box).
The good news is that it is only hidden with some custom CSS on the results page, so you can easily make it visible again with the help of some JavaScript code.
Displaying the Title Row (Top Navigation) Solution
My solution is to first check if there is a refinement panel on the current page. When you know that there is a refinement panel on the page, you need to do four things:
Unhide the title row;
Setting a Page Title for the search center page, because this is empty;
Hiding the search icon;
Removing the top margin of the refinement panel.
The JavaScript code looks like this:

varrefElm=document.getElementsByClassName('ms-searchCenter-refinement');if(refElm.length>0){// Unhide the title row
document.getElementById('s4-titlerow').setAttribute('style','display:block !important');// Set the Site Title
document.getElementById('DeltaPlaceHolderPageTitleInTitleArea').innerHTML='Search Center';// Hide the search icon
document.getElementById('searchIcon').style.display='none';// Remove the top margin
refElm[0].style.marginTop=0;// The following lines are only needed for firefox
varcss='#s4-bodyContainer #s4-titlerow { display: block !important; }',head=document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0],style=document.createElement('style');style.type='text/css';style.appendChild(document.createTextNode(css));head.appendChild(style);}
If you are using jQuery, you can use this:

if($('.ms-searchCenter-refinement').length>0){// Unhide the title row
$('#s4-titlerow').attr('style','display:block !important');// Set the Site Title
$('#DeltaPlaceHolderPageTitleInTitleArea').text('Search Center');// Hide the search icon
$('#searchIcon').hide();// Remove the top margin
$('.ms-searchCenter-refinement').css('margin-top','0');// The following line is only needed for firefox
$('body').append('<style>#s4-titlerow { display: block !important; }</style>');}

Xin Zhang mentioned a problem when using the script in firefox. The two code blocks are updated to support firefox, the lines that are added to the JavaScript blocks are highlighted.
