   Hi, I've seen sites using Snowblind that have a search bar at the top right. I've been using the theme and have not found an option to implement it into the page. Is here a line of CSS that must be added? Thanks. Here's the site for reference: http://www.americareclaimed.com/

   Your site/theme is currently hiding the search form (which should be above the top left of your header) via CSS. Since this CSS is being add to your page's header, I suggest you re-check your theme's options. I'm pretty sure that there's an option to hide/display the search form in there somewhere.

   Unless it has been recently updated without my knowledge, there is no direct option to do so. Perhaps an error with something else is causing it. Could I simply go in and change some CSS? Thanks in advance.

   No. This is very specific CSS.

   Try looking for display:none; in header.php.

   Or try deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

   Thanks four your help and i apologize for my lack of knowledge on the subject. The header does not contain that, but there is a template titled searchform.php - It seems to me that "hidden" indicates it is not visible. I have tried deleting "hidden" though it does not work without a replacement.

   <form method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/">
   <input type="text" class="search_input" value="search..." name="s" id="s" onfocus="if (this.value == 'search...') {this.value = '';}" onblur="if (this.value == '') {this.value = 'search...';}" />
   <input type="hidden" id="searchsubmit" value="Search" />
   </form>

   Could replacing it with another word be the key to this? Thanks.

   No. That input should be hidden. If there's no CSS in your header.php file, then, as I said previously, it's probably coming from a plugin or from the theme's custom options. You could start by deactivating all plugins.
