add a link next to the search button?
function MODULENAME_form_alter(&amp;$form, &amp;$form_state, $form_id) {
  if ($form_id == 'search_block_form') {
    $form['help_link'] = array(
      '#markup' =&gt; '&lt;a class="h_tips" href="help_tips"&gt;help_tips&lt;/a&gt;',
    );
  }
}


That should do the work, but I am not sure if the id 'search_block_form' the right one is.
If you don't have any custom module, just place this code into your current template's template.php, replace MODULENAME with templatename, save and clear cache.
