Increase the search input field.

Okay, I feel like a complete idiot but I have to ask.  I bought the "Complete Site Search" module on the market here.  Everything about the module is great, I was able to move the module through styling and increase the graphical search field to 300px which is what I wanted.  What I can't figure out how to do is to increase the physical input box (the one that appears when you click in the search field).  I thought it was top_menu.css .gsearch but this doesn't seem to have any effect whatsoever.  Any help would be greatly appreciated, I know it's a simple thing but I can't figure it out.

I've not used the module, but I think you should check the file responsible for the html form presentation and edit the size  number.

 

<form action="/cgi-bin/cgisrch.exe" method="GET">

Search site for:<BR>
<input type="text" size="40" maxlength="50" name="Search">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Search">

</form>

 

You can check the      /templates/base   folder of the module     for unit_search.php  file  if it exists  and edit the seach input field   ' size= 50   to your taste   or check   in any search  html form inside  with the module files.

 

Shouldn't be so hard on yourself, anyone can forget some things at anytime no matter how good he or she is.

@Smile4Sammy.. Thanks for the reply.  I'm actually trying to control the Input Field Itself, not the HTML Output.

Bump... Surely someone out there knows how to increase the search field... Is it in  Top_menu.css or searchkeywords.css ?  What controls the input field. (And I won't call your Shirley)
