Step 1
First off create a new document to house the search box (or add it to one of your existing designs). I’ve filled the background of mine with the colour #2e3033
Step 2
Using the Rounded Rectangle Tool make a white rectangle with radius 10px and dimensions 200x40px. This will be where we enter our search terms.
Step 3
Using the text tool add in some dummy text. The font styling I’ve used is Arial, Bold, 15 pt, Sharp, #37393d.
Step 4
Now we’ll make a button for the search action. Using the same tool make a 80x40px rectangle
Step 5
Apply this gradient overlay to the button layer.
Step 6
Add some text for the button. The font styling I’ve used here is Arial, Bold, 15 pt, Sharp, #ffffff with an outer glow of 30% #000000. I’ve also added another darker rectangle behind the search field and button and a radial gradient in the background.
-/ There, Another tutorial by me. YES, I used Photoshop CS5 & not the CS4 this time. Not sure why though.. XD
My fingers are bleeding.. rawr..
* This will be useful if you're having a HTML website! =)
