Sure. Login, "Appearance/Configure Plugins". If you don't have a sidebar plugin called "Quicksearch", add it by clicking "Click here to install a new sidebar plugin". Drag it to the sidebar you'd like it in (left or right).

Some templates have quicksearch built into the template.... and I thought you were using bulletproof based on other posts you have made, and we definitely included that capability within bulletproof, but only in conjunction with its navigation bars... and you may not have any space remaining for the search box if you have a lot of navigation items.

The quicksearch is submitting to the wrong form. It looks like the form is never printed out, or perhaps there's an HTML problem with the template.

Incidentally, there's also a database problem: an index was never created. If you visit your quicksearch URL directly:
http://www.mspflorist.com/florist-blog/ ... Button]=Go
...then you'll see which index needs to be recreated.
