Hope some of you advanced templates can assist me with the best way to handle revising the search box on my site.

The target code is:
```
 <div id="search-form">
          <form action="#" method="get">
            <input type="text" class="search-text-box" id="search-box">
          </form>
        </div>
```
Where and how do I need to revise the AjaxSearch (will be running this non-ajax) template. Appreciate any help in advance.

'''&tplLayout '''

chunk to style the ajaxSearch input form and layout. (optional)

*string as chunck name
*string as '@FILE:' + template file path

e.g: @FILE:assets/snippets/ajaxSearch/templates/myLayout.tpl.html

'@FILE:'' . AS_SPATH . 'templates/layout.tpl.html
So create a chunk to use as a tpl. My advice would be to put the default search form into the chunk and make sure it works the same, then start modifying the chunk. The default tpl is assets/snippets/ajaxsearch/templates/input.tpl.html

See the samples and the readme.txt file in your assets/snippets/ajaxsearch/templates/inputTemplates folder.
