Styling the "x" cancel search button in Webkit browsers

Assuming you're talking about "Cancel search" [X] icon that appeas in Webkit browsers only (Chrome, Safari, Opera) you can use -webkit-search-cancel-button pseudo-element. E.g:

#Search::-webkit-search-cancel-button{
    position:relative;
    right:20px;    
}

Using this approach you can even create your own cancel button, for example this style:

#Search::-webkit-search-cancel-button{
    position:relative;
    right:20px;  

    -webkit-appearance: none;
    height: 20px;
    width: 20px;
    border-radius:10px;
    background: red;
}

Instead of [X] will create a red circle.

For IE10 and above you can use following to move the button:

#Search::-ms-clear{
   margin-right:20px
}

Oh and do use placeholder="Search" instead of value="Search" - it will display word "search" when input is empty - and will automatically remove it when user types something.
