Search Box is an important thing for blog/website. Visitors can search your blog and find a content from your blog they want. As you know Blogger has its own search box, but it's looking very simple. It will look more professional to add a more optimized and colorful search box to your blog.

Simply open up Blogger, go to Layout > "Add a new gadget".
Now in pop out window search and select for HTML/JavaScript.
And paste code on it:
<style>
#search-box {
position: relative;

}

#search-form 
{
height: 40px;
border: 1px solid #999;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
border-radius: 5px;
background-color: #fff;
overflow: hidden;
}
#search-text 
{

}

#search-box input[type="text"]
{

</style>

<div id='search-box'>
