Typically the search box you have on the master page is a simple redirect to the /search page with url parameters along with it. For example, you'd have a textbox with a button and some javascript to perform the redirect which could have a URL like this:

/search?searchtext=the+big+lazy+dog&searchmode=allwords

No need to complicate search any more than it already is. Just make sure on your search page you have the search results web part on the page which will automatically pick up the url parameters.
