 * Hello,
    How do I make the search box smaller? (Width-wise) This is the code I’m
   using for the search box
 *     ```
       <?php 	/* Widgetized sidebar, if you have the plugin installed. */
       					if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?><ul>
       			<li>
       				<?php get_search_form(); ?> <?php endif; ?>
       			</li></ul>
       ```
   
 * Is there any way I could edit it through CSS? If so, how do I edit the php code?
 * Thanks in advance.

 * Hi,
 * You can edit the CSS file to make size changes in search box..edit the code for
   input textarea and search submit and it will resolve the case..
 * Thanks,
