Comment on WordPress Hacks by SEO Dave.
It’s the default WordPress search widget you’ve added to the left sidebar, it’s not compatible with Talian 5.

After I finish updating the Stallion SEO Theme I’ll be updating Talian 5 and will use Stallion 7 as the base which includes compatible search widgets and loads of features not built into Talian 5.
