I have never really used the adsense search on any sites but I am currently developing one that will use this. I know that with normal adsense ads you are not allowed to alter the code but I was wondering on a search box where you are using the option for Web and Site search if you are allowed to change the normal www.mysite.com text to say the sites actual name below is the part of the code I am referring to

Default text
<input type="radio" name="sitesearch" value="www.mysite.com" id="ss1"></input>
<label for="ss1" title="Search www.mysite.com"><font size="-1" color="#000000">www.mysite.com</font></label>

Can You....

<input type="radio" name="sitesearch" value="www.mysite.com" id="ss1"></input>
<label for="ss1" title="Search www.mysite.com"><font size="-1" color="#000000">Site Name</font></label>

technically it's against TOS to alter the code.... no idea why :(

That's why I never use it, it's just plain ugly... very 90's
