The default search box setup is handled in a few different places depending on context.

The main page version appears either in the inline PHP script or a Smarty template:

themes/themename/views/default.master.php


$Form = Gdn::Factory('Form');
$Form->InputPrefix = '';
echo $Form->Open(array('action' => Url('/search'), 'method' => 'get')),
$Form->TextBox('Search'),
$Form->Button('Go', array('Name' => '')),
$Form->Close();

OR

themes/themename/views/default.master.tpl

{searchbox}

which calls the custom Smarty function in "library/vendors/SmartyPlugins/function.searchbox.php".

In both cases, they are using the Garden form class to generate the form. If you want to change the look you could just copy the rendered HTML of the search box and paste that into your template. Here is a Smarty template version of the form:


<div class="Search"><form method="get" action="{link path="/search"}">
<div>
<input type="text" id="Form_Search" name="Search" value="" class="InputBox" />
<input type="submit" id="Form_Go" value="Go" class="Button" />
</div>
</form></div>

Alternatively (or as well), you can adjust the look a fair amount via CSS.

@quasiperfect

The default search result page is generated by:

applications/dashboard/views/search/index.php

You can customize this by copying that file to:

themes/themename/views/search/index.php

The default start discussion page is loaded via:

applications/vanilla/views/post/disucssion.php

You can customize it by copying that to:

themes/themename/views/post/disucssion.php

You can also go with ".tpl" versions but it will take some work to replicate the same functionality.

@quasiperfect : what did you change in which template. It might be time to start debugging. Do you want to change the search form or the search results?
