Edit Drupal Search Bar Block in DKAN

Question

I'm attempting to put a search block into my Drupal 7 theme. I have included the following into the theme:

<?php
        $block = block_load('dkan_sitewide', 'dkan_sitewide_search_bar');
        if($block):
            $search = _block_get_renderable_array(_block_render_blocks(array($block)));
            print render($search);
        endif;
    ?>

The above code was taken from the Nuboot Radix theme.

This is what I see:

How do change the search bar? I want to:

Remove the label
Move the submit button onto the same line as the search bar
Stop the bar going full width
Change the button text
Change the text inside the search bar

There is a function in /profiles/dkan/modules/dkan/dkan_sitewide/dkan_sitewide.blocks.inc called dkan_sitewide_dataset_search_form:

function dkan_sitewide_dataset_search_form($form, $form_state) {
    $form['search'] = array(
      '#type' => 'textfield',
      '#attributes' => array(
          'placeholder' => t('Search'),
      ),
      '#size' => 50,
    );
    $form['submit'] = array(
      '#type' => 'submit',
      '#value' => t('Search'),
    );
    return $form;
}

Editing the values in this array gives you some (very limited) control over the styling of the global search bar.

Keep in mind that editing this file directly is a bad idea, since it will be overwritten with the default contents every time you update DKAN. Unfortunately I am unable to find any other workout at the moment.
