Description
When I try to change the search form size="15" to size="10" in file search-theme-form.tpl.php nothing happens. Using firebug this is where it tells me the code is. Is there another file that I have missed that I need to change to get the desired effect?

Do you follow the directions for adding a themed search form to your sub-theme?
From a sub-theme's template.php file:
/*** Override the Drupal search form using the search-theme-form.tpl.php file.
*/
/* -- Delete this line if you want to use this function
function phptemplate_search_theme_form($form) {
return _phptemplate_callback('search_theme_form', array('form' => $form), array('search-theme-form'));
}
// */

Yes I have done this and it does resize search form with the code:
<?php if ($search_box): ?><div id="search-box">
<?php print $search_box; ?>
</div> <!-- /#search-box -->
<?php endif; ?>
But when I go to Home › Administer › Site building › Blocks
Then add the Search form to the left sidebar:
The search form on the left sidebar does not resize.

The search-box is not the same as the search form that can be added in a Block.
The SEARCH THEME FORM is the Search form that that appears in your page header, when enabled. It can be enabled in your theme-settings: administer > site building > Themes > Configure by checking "Search box".
The BLOCK SEARCH THEME FORM is the search form that that appears in your sidebars, when enabled. Have a look at the handbook page for customising the block search form.
