The SearchInput control goes into the layout.master but more then likely there is already one there and you just have to set the correct options. Make sure there are not two instances of the SearchInput as it will cause a headache for you.

The CSS you can just add to your style.css file for your skin.

Hi,

You shouldn't put the control inside the <head>, put it inside the <form>.

Also, you already have a SearchInput control in your layout.master (it's toward the bottom and renders as a link) so you need to change the ID of the SearchInput you are adding to SearchInput2.

HTH,

Most skins have a SearchInput control in them but it doesn't show a search box, it shows a search link.

Change the ID of the SearchInput control you added to SearchInputBox1.

HTH,
