To change the text:
in /includes/languages/english/YOURTEMPLATE/header.php and find
define('HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT', 'Input search term and press Enter');
My search bar says 'Input search term and press Enter'...Yours will say something else
Change that text to whatever you want.
Then to remove the button in
/includes/templates/YOURTEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_search_header.php
find
. ' <input type="submit" value="' . HEADER_SEARCH_BUTTON . '" style="width: 45px" />'
and delete it. Be sure to leave the ';' (semicolon) and '}' (curly bracket) at the end of this line in tact or you'll get an error.

If you want to adjust height, width, or anything else regarding the search bar, you HAVE to do it in this file. You'll see where it says style=" width: 100px;". You can change that to what you want and add other stlye properties to it, such as height, etc...
If you want a background image, like I have, that has to be done in the stylesheet. Mine looks like this:
.navMainSearch input, .navMainSearch input:focus {
background-color: transparent;
background-image:url(../images/searchBg.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: top right;
border: none;
text-align: right;
}
Hope that helps!
