Yet another +1. Nice experiment but in this case the lines aren't really gratuitous. Something is necessary there to indicate the presence of an editable text field.
I see what you're trying to do, but I can't imagine any way of not having a visible line around the whole thing. Maybe the search box could be a somewhat lighter shade of grey.

I agree. I think that the search box needs to be distinct and obvious as a control; this change blends it into the background too much.
