Putting a search box on front page

I would like to have a custom search box on the first page.
Initially,I would be happy withsomething like what the advanced search box has on it. How would I put this on the front page?

Yes, so on the font page... or indeed in the header so that it comes up on every page, we would have something like;

-keyword
-category
-price range from
-price range to
