override search form template in drupal 7

I want to create my own search form template in my theme. When copy search-result.tpl.php and from the core search module into my theme it is rendered instead of the default (which is what I expected).

However when I copy search-block-form.tpl from the search core into my theme I get nada. In fact when I place a "hello world" token in the search-block-form.tpl in the core search module it doesn't get rendered. To rephrase I need to know in what template file is the form ultimately rendered and how do I change it to the one in my theme.

The search block form is actually not using this template. The solution is to use the Form API in your template.php file and alter the template right there. Here is a link to the solution:

First of all, are you talking about search form in block or about search form page, which is displayed at sitename.com/search? Have you flushed all caches after you placed new TPL file with your custom token? Anyway, if you want to debug yourself, try to download and enable devel_themer module (it depends on devel module too). http://drupal.org/project/devel_themer
