Search Bar

Is it possible to relocate the search bar. My nav bar is made of a custom menu and there is no room for the search bar...but I would like it in the primary sidebar on the left...does anyone know how to do this? patrick..

The easiest way would be to disable search in the nav (if you haven't already done so) and paste the same call that the nav uses into a text widget:

<form method="get" class="searchform" action="http://www.yoursite.com" onsubmit="this.submit();return false;"><fieldset> <input type="text" value="Search" name="s" class="searchfield" onfocus="if (this.value == 'Search') {this.value = '';}" onblur="if (this.value == '') {this.value = 'Search';}" /><input type="image" class="submit btn" name="submit" src="http://www.yoursite.com/platformpro/wp-content/themes/platformpro/images/search-btn.png" alt="Go" /></fieldset></form>

Replace yoursite in the code with your url obviously.

OR... Go inside widgets and select the Search widget, and add it to the primary sidebar, which is what I did -- and I didn't have to add all that code above. --Bonnie P.S. There is a video in the Pagelines doc area that shows you how to remove the default search from the functions.php file.
