anyway, attacheed here is a screenshot from ie5/mac containing a widget that was done in pure html (with no use of space-gifs) (it actually looks better in ns4 and slightly worse in opera5).
I actually like the non-form buttons for search boxes. The real buttons are too big and ugly.
Ugly is better than needing to hit the button.
Another suggestion is not to have the submit button at all. Instead mark the box as a search-box with a title preceding the search box, so it won't confuse users trying to hit this text to submit. Will this work everywhere? I mean the form with no submit button. Will all users realize that they need to hit Enter?
How about putting the search box below the menu. I don't think it needs to be right at the top of the content part of the page.
That's doable. But I think it fits better into the content page, logically wise. So you search 'this page' and not 'the site'. Of course one we have this working. And the Search link in the menu will take you to search the whole site.
Another idea would be a small banner on top with a few key links and a
search box on the far right. Look at the small bar with the search box at
http://www.linux.com/. Too bad their icon is busted.
Maybe a radio group like:
------------------------------- [search] o Entire site o This Section (Documentation)
Or has this already been discussed?
Nope, we didn't discuss search yet.
I guess we could add the entire/this, but this takes space, better using images than [this] [all] or something like that. But then it definitely won't fit into the the bar with download and prev|next. So probably the place between the two menus is a better location.
I don't think putting things on the top will fit with the breadcrumb.
