    Hi there

    From your Dashboard, go to Appearance > Widgets. In there you'll find a Widget called "Search" (they're alphabeticised). Click and drag that into where it says "Primary Sidebar" and Save. If your page layout is set to have a sidebar (check either in Genesis > Theme Settings > Default Layout or on the individual page editor screen) then your sidebar should now have a search box.

    Thanks
    Dom

    WordPress comes with a search form widget so you can just drag it over to your sidebar.
