We have plenty of forms on our site and they all behave pretty well, except our 
search box. The coding is exactly the same, the style sheets are the same, but 
the text input box is huge!

The only variation is the form action. It is referencing a form action at 
freefind.com.

In forms.css you apply padding of 15 px to the top of the search form element, if you change this to a margin instead or remove the padding it looks to solve the problem. Change this rule:

#search {width:215px; clear:left; padding-top:15px; }

It is also a bit bigger after changing the above rule as it recieves additional padding from this rule in screen.css

#search {clear:both; padding:5px 0  5px 10px; }

The padding in both of these rules is applied within the input element, a margin would be better for spacing in this case.
