Adding a Search Box to the sidebar?

[level8]

Due to the customising of my theme I cant have the search box in the header.

Is it possible to create (as I would call it a widget) in the sidebar displaying the search box?

Cant seem to work out how to add this in ?

You can reposition the search bar using CSS. That may be sufficient for your needs:

Otherwise here is a guide for adding a Google search to the sidebar:

I don't have a guide ready for adding the default search to the sidebar, but this thread shows the location in the code.

Is there no way to use the default xenforo search in the sidebar?

If you use xf rocks widget framework it has included a search widget

You can move the HTML to a new template and include that in the sidebar. Some small CSS changes and it works perfectly.

I'll post up my HTML sometime tonight when I get home from work.
