 * Where do you edit the search box when you add search to your sidebar ?
 * rightnow when i add the search widget i give it a header called “Search”
    below
   that appears a line of text “search for” -> form field -> button labeled “search”
 * thats 3 instances of the word search – id just like to have the title , a form
   field then a button that says “go”

 * You would need to create a new searchform.php template file in your your theme.
