Compare

square box with rounded box

The first one is from stackoverflow.com and the second one is from nothingtoinstall.com, when using Google Chrome.

The second one looks really ugly and unprofessional to me. Please stick with the normal rectangular search box. I think it won't even hurt the site design theme.

I'm going to disable the outline on focus for the search and add interesting/ignored tags. I do agree having a rectangular outline out a curved input box looks weird. Fix is on the way!

How about just disabling it for the search box instead?

Unless I am mistaken maybe Jin was attempting a portion of the apple spotlight search field and missed out on fixing the focus as follows.
