I'm not exactly sure what your question is, but the code you posted is from a theme (or layer plugin). So you can put that function in your theme's qa-theme.php file.

Alternatively, take a look at the plugin documentation and look at making a widget module or a layer plugin

You can put the code inside that function into another function like sidepanel().
Or in the sidepanel function, call the nav_user_search() function, although that will add the other stuff too.
