There appears to be a bug in v1.2.9 that keeps the search box from working in IE6. If a visitor is using IE6, they can't enter keywords into the search box. The search box works fine in Safari and Firefox.

You can view the problem at:

Only Internet Explorer 6 seems to have an issue with the search box but there are still a lot of surfers using IE6.

Has anyone found a solution for this?

I'd try and bring them into the 21st century... ;D
Add this into the head area of the page:
catalog\view\theme\default\template\common\layout.tpl

<!--[if IE 6]>
<center><p style="color:#fff;background-color:red">
<span style="font-weight:bold">NOTICE:</span><br />Because you are using an old browser (Internet Explorer 6),<br >the search box will not display correctly.<br />If you can, <a style="color:#fff;background-color:red"font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline" href="http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/">Please Update your Browser</a></p></center>

I would much prefer the developers spent their time fixing real bugs rather than fixing bugs caused by a non standard-compliant ancient browser like IE6.

Seriously, it came out 8 years ago.. it's time to let go.

simple solution

delete red line in ie6.css:

#header .div3 {
behavior: url('catalog/view/javascript/png/iepngfix.htc');
width: 268px;
height: 67px;

not perfect but working
