Solution

Revised:

I am not sure of the process for editing the delegate control the implements the SearchBoxEx control. Your control is provided by an xml document in the OSearchBasicFeature. The file can be found in your [12or14hive]\TEMPLATE\FEATURES\OSearchBasicFeature\SearchArea.xml

This article talks about overriding that.

To edit the standard search webpart:

  1. Edit the standard search webpart
  2. Go to "Miscellaneous" section
  3. Toggle "Display advanced search link" on
  4. Set the url for "Advanced Search page Url"
  5. Click "Apply" or "Okay"
