The Trillian page uses a background image - 
http://trillian.cachefly.net/img/support_imagemap_search.png - 
and then overlays the controls on top of that. The default styling for the 
input/search box has been overridden with inline CSS - 

<input style="background: transparent; border: none; width: 250px; color: 
#808080; font-size: 11px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;" 
id="search" name="search" onEnter="this.form.submit()" onClick="if 
(document.getElementById('search').value=='Type your question in keywords 
here...') document.getElementById('search').value='';"  type=text value="Type 
your question in keywords here...">

That page using imagemaps as well, but I didn't take the time to figure it all 
out. Note that even though the text (and thus the input element) can be resized 
with browser controls, the image underneath cannot, and so at the very least 
the display is disrupted when text is resized.

Sorry, I've not got any links to tutorials.
