    Is it against the TOS to edit the HTML elements of adsense for search for website cosmetic purposes...?

    example

    instead of search: example.blogspot.com

    change it to: search this site


    THanks

    it is against TOS. I did once some mods to the search box (put some css on textbox and search button) and nothing wrong happened. I gave up to google search due to poor performance.

    No need to ask, I had got an official warning from google for putting a costly keyword in search box auto filled.

    I see. but what if your site has a url like

    supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.mysmalldomain.com

    or

    vacation-tourist-blogger.mysmalldomain.info


    wouldn't it mess up your site design.

    Yes it is against the TOS
    I think you can change background color only.
