You could label the field as "search" and the button as "go" perhaps.
I'm guessing you don't want to label the search field because the submit
would also be labeled search?

If you're only concerned about providing form accessibility for
screenreaders, and no other disability, you could use the
method below or
a transparent.gif with appropriate alt-text would work too.
Not necessarily just for screenreader accessibility. If the input itself is large enough,
there's no problem for users with motor problems. And arguably, having a button
immediately adjacent to the text input that says "Search" (and, I'm assuming,
having it in a logical common place used by most other sites, like top-right) is enough
visual labelling, so omitting a visible label for that text input shouldn't really cause
accessibility issues for other audiences...
