yes it works, i was thinking that as well just want to make sure.
thanks
The “correct” method is to use <?php get_search_form();?>,

you are right esmi, but we may want to custom it for the styling.
How does that affect using the correct WP function/tag? Just create your own searchform.php template file, add it to your theme and <?php get_search_form();?> will call it automatically. I’ve not created a theme yet that uses the default search form.

Here I found another issue:
What if the <?php get_search_form();?> has been used 2 times on a page (e.g. the hform not only in sidebar but also in main content in 404.php)
So, there will be problems with the ID tags, W3C doesn’t allow using a same ID name more than 1 time on a page.
I can copy the code from searchform.php and give some new ID names but it’s not so convenient if add it to few pages.
Any better solution please?
