  If you can add a search box into a widget area, then you can move it using absolute positioning.

  Here is an article about how it works:

  Try out what you find in the article. If you’re note sure how to find CSS selectors, check out this help page:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/how-to-find-your-themes-css/

  If you still need help after that, post back here after you have added the search widget.

  @evanhourihan1632, since your question is about a different theme, the principle is the same and the help links above would be a good start for you, but you should create a separate, new help request if you want to get help after you’ve added a search widget.
