How do i add a search block in the header portion. Like we have a logo in the header on the left side , then I want a search block on the right side. On the standard Drupal themes this is possible , please tell how to insert search on the right side.

Hello, I am not a designer just tried a few things and thankfully it worked for me.
1. I enabled the search module from admin .
2. Went to position the search block in the header , but Sky didn't have a header positioning.
3. So i made changes to page.tpl.php
4. Inside the div labeled as header i placed the code
if ($search_box):

print $search_box ;

endif;
5. This code basically tells that if search module is enabled place it here.
6. In style.css file i coded for the id ="search-floater" and code for it is
#search-floater {padding-bottom: 5px;position: relative;float: right;margin-top: 80px; margin-right:04px; width: 190px;z-index: 1; }
7. This is all i did Hopefully it will be helpful for u too.

Hi kunal981,

The Sky theme doesn't feature a search box in the header as part of its design, but the way you added it yourself would be the right way to go about it. Just wanted to let you know that.

also make sure search box is enabled in theme configure settings. It wasted quite an hours for me.
