Simply copy and paste the code below in the box:

<form action='http://j-smith-site.blogspot.com/search' method='get'> <input class='text input' name='q' size='24' type='text' value='Search for my posts...'/> <input class='button submit' name='submit' type='submit' value='Check it'/></form>

2. Change the value for the "size" to modify the widget width (size="24").
3. Change the value for the "value" to modify the text shown in the box on the search engine (Search for my posts...).
