  2. Navigate to Layout and add a HTML/Javascript widget.
  3. Copy and paste the below code.                                                                                                                             
<div class='widget-contentss'>
<form _lpchecked='1' action='/search' class='search-form' id='search_mini_form' method='get'>
<div id='search'>
<div class='search-input form-search'>
<input id='s' name='q' onblur='if (this.value == &apos;&apos;) {this.value = &apos;Search This Site&apos;;}' onfocus='if (this.value == &apos;Search This Site&apos;) {this.value = &apos;&apos;;}' type='text' value='Search This Site'/>
<input id='buttonsinput' style='vertical-align: top;' type='submit' value='Search!'/>
</div></div>
