search layout problem

That’s not a blockquote tag, that’s a line break. Sometimes theme authors don’t use the searhform.php file look for the code in your sidebar.php and header.php. Take out the line break and if there’s room on the line then the button should move up.

I’m having the same problem. I’ve tried resizing the search field, but the search button won’t bump up onto the same line as the input field. I, too, have seen the line break when I view the source, but cannot find the code in any of my files. I’m guessing it has something to do with the fact that I’m using the widgetized sidebar. Below is the code I thought was relevant from View/Source in my browser. The line break is near the end. Any ideas?

<div id="sidebar">

					<li id="text-1" class="widget widget_text">						<div class="textwidget"><p style="padding:6px 8px 6px 6px; color: #555555; background-color: #eeeeee; border: #dddddd 1px solid">

A little searching yielded the result. Here’s a good tutorial on how to fix the issue.
