Compare the search at :
http://www.whitchurchwaterway.uk/
and:
http://www.whitchurchwaterway.uk/nhome (Where I am trying out the Florence Template).

This is the same Search module on different pages, same position different templates.
Where the Florence template is being used there are two issues:

(1) I can find no way to alter the dark text on a dark background.
(2) The search does not work. Enter a search criteria and click search button and nothing happens.
