Here's a hack to adjust the CSS styles for the autmatically-generated text input field and button. If you have something like this:

<!** Search index.tpl Search>
<!** Edit Search keywords>
<!** EndSearch>

Then you can do this to adjust the styles:

<script>

// For the text field
document.forms.search.SearchKeywords.style.border = "1px solid black";
document.forms.search.SearchKeywords.style.font = "8pt Verdana";

// For the button
document.forms.search.search.style.border = "1px solid black";
document.forms.search.search.style.font = "bold 8pt Verdana";

</script>
