Answer 1

What we did was replace the delegate control of the search button with our own, using a feature. In that feature we specified our custom image for the button.

When we customised the search box we hide the default img for the search button using css and replaced it with a new background image.

Answer 3

You can't replace the default button with you own search button. You can however customize it to your needs using CSS styles. I have done the same thing. You can create your custom style to override the styles from the corev15.css file.

Create you custom styles css file, reference it in your page layout and just use it.

Hope that helps.
