  Hi
  I’d like to add a search box to the header of my blog. I’m using the Fusion theme currently.
  How can I go about it?

  Hi there,

  In order to show a search box in the header, you’ll need to enable one or more sidebars for your theme.

  You can change your theme’s layout at Appearance -> Theme Options.

  Once you do so, you can add a search widget to the top of your sidebar:
