In this simple patch the width gets controlled by CSS and it becomes
easy to set it in just one place.
The exact width may need to be discussed but I thought 30em made it look ok on my screen.
With this patch we get the wider search boxes with a very small change and another bug may
be created if needed to do a bigger refactor and remove stuff not needed in the html and
perhaps do this in a modern/responsive way. (Preferrably a UX/GUI developer will do this)
To test:
Apply the patch and reload the staff client. Now the search box is a bit wider and the border
etc has changed with it.
Some places with more than one search box like "Serials" will not be affected.
