I appoligize if this has been asked before, I couldn't find the answer. I'd like to know if is against adsense TOS to change the colors of the adsense for search box. On the adsense website they only give you the option of white, grey, or black. Also, will adsense for search work properly if google doesn't show any indexed pages when I search site:example.com? Thanks!
You can change it offcourse. That's just the table that contains the form. Off-course not. You have to have pages indexed in Google.
Rule of thumb with questions regarding this, or any other Adsense code issues, is: If you can change what you need changing in the Adsense control panel, then you can do it manually to save yourself time. 'Nuff said.
