I need to change the width of the gray search button because it's cutting off the word "search" and is only showing "searc". I used the directions above and it seems to only change the "advanced search" page. Can anyone tell me where to find the CSS code to change the width of the gray search button? If it helps, I'm using the search for the header and not the sidebox.

I must be tired because all I needed to do was change the font size from 1.0 em to 0.9em and now it fits. However, I wouldn't mind knowing how to make the gray button wider because a font size larger than 0.9em doesn't fit.

This doesn't work, the style is overridden by element.style, meaning it is set in the PHP file.

Copy tpl_search_header into your template's sidebox folder. Near the bottom, change ' style="width: 45px" ' to 100px.
Setting it to 50px makes the "Search" text fit nicely with the font size I'm using.

Just go into Admin - Tools - Layout Boxes Controller find the two search boxes and edit to switch them off.
