Post a link to your site.
that is a type and search box
however the font for it is white – the same as the background
if you type something in then hit enter you go to search results page

samboll, i already have a search bar in my sidebar, this one is on the upper right hand corner, basically a white box that does absolutely nothing
i’m sorry to bother you guys with such stupid questions, i’m thinking it has something to do with a plugin, i could list those if needed
Hmmmm, maybe it is hard coded into your header.php file (in your themes directory)?
how could i go about removing it??
I just upgraded to mozilla firefox and the arrow is turning into where i can click on it like a search box when I the arrow over it, the font must be white like samboll said, because i typed in history and pressed enter and sure enough a search turned up, but i already have a search box on my sidebar and that doesn’t even let anybody know that it is a search at all, it just looks bad up there, I want my blog as simple as possible
i actually went to appearance and clicked on editor, and deleted the search bar i was seeing in the css format or whatever you call it, so i make sure i have a search in my sidebar, and there cannot be one in my sidebar without another totally different searchbar appearing right on top of where it was last time, this time it is functional with a button and everything, so i have a search button in my widget bar, and it’s not even where i placed it in my widget bar and another one at the very top of the page
look in the theme’s header.php for the search box you don’t want
remove the code or comment it out
Look for something similar to the following in the header.php file:
<form method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/">
<label class="hidden" for="s"><?php _e('Search for:'); ?></label>
<div><input type="text" value="<?php the_search_query(); ?>" name="s" id="s" />
<input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="Search" />
</div>
</form>
