How do I style the blog search bar on Squarespace?

The Squarespace 7.1 search block uses .sqs-search-page-input for the input field and .sqs-search-page-results for the results list. The default search bar is minimal and often needs restyling.

Create a more prominent search experience with a larger input, visible border, and custom placeholder text styling. The search icon is an SVG inside the button that responds to fill color changes.

.sqs-search-page-input input {
  border: 2px solid #ddd !important;
  border-radius: 4px;
  padding: 14px 20px;
  font-size: 16px;
  width: 100%;
  transition: border-color 0.2s ease;
}
.sqs-search-page-input input:focus {
  border-color: #111 !important;
  outline: none;
}
.sqs-search-page-input input::placeholder {
  color: #aaa;
  font-style: italic;
}
.sqs-search-page-results .search-result {
  padding: 20px 0;
  border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;
}
