The search for a better search box

Publishers have told us they want more control over the look and feel of the AdSense for search box, and we've listened. There's a new search query box in town - check out your AdSense for search tab to design your very own.

What's changed? First, we cleaned up the design a bit to make it smaller and more compact, allowing you to set the logo position and search box length to best fit your site design. Plus, we've added the "'Google Search' on button" logo option, which enables you to select from a number of different background colors or enter any HTML code to match the color of your site. All these changes add up to enhanced customization and flexibility.

You've asked us, "Why can't Google just let us edit the text and design any query box we want?" While we're always looking to give publishers more customization options, we also feel that consistency in how our code is used and how the Google logo is displayed is good for the long-term integrity of the Adsense program. Rest assured that we're constantly working to provide more options, whether it's improved reporting, more creative styles, or a redesigned search box.
