re: Is it possible to have the the search bar show on the page with no results underneath until search criteria is entered?

Technically this is possible. I’ve been asked this a few times in the support forums now so I’ve added a new Quicktip that goes over the details.

re: Also, can the size of the search bar be changed?

Yes, the styling is controlled with CSS you can basically do anything you want to it.

You can try this, though you may have to tweak it to suit… add the following to the theme’s custom CSS area:

#cn-circled input#cn-search-input {
  height: 42px !important;
  font-size: 36px !important;
  line-height: normal !important;
}

#cn-circled input#cn-search-submit {
  height: 42px !important;
}

#cn-circled span.cn-search {
  margin-bottom: 16px !important;
  text-align: center !important;
  display: block !important;
  float: none !important;
}

Hope that helps!
