    I want to edit the search box on the default WordPress theme. Which template controls this? I would like to basically replace the ‘Search’ button with a custom image.

    Thanks in advance.

    searchform.php is the form itself in the default theme. To replace the search button with a custom image, you can do this through style.css, by adding your custom image as a background image to sidebar #searchsubmit.

    Cheers,
    Eric
