I suffered from the Google search mess with SeaMonkey. Then I came
across a solution: I turned off "advertise Firefox compatibility".
To turn off "advertise Firefox compatibility" go to SeaMonkey's
preferences click on Advance>HTTP Networking>(uncheck)Advertise Firefox
compatibility.
This fix solved the difficulties I was having with Google.
Google returned to its normal appearance. Also With this setting turned
off I have yet to find any negative effects on other sites. With this
setting turned off, some sites even appear to work.

if not whats the fix... the search box in google with seamonkey is
hosed... the cursor places itself in a weird position and only allows
for so many characters to be entered before it starts to be hidden...
Windows 7
SeaMonkey 2.49.4
If I use Google, I always use its Advanced Search at
<http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en>. I do not see your
problem there.
However, I generally search with DuckDuckGo at
<https://duckduckgo.com/>. They do not capture and retain any
information about me and my searches.
I seem to recall, some time ago, someone reporting that, when they
used a (Google??) search engine, they were having difficulties seeing
the text they entered .... as though, to start, they were entering
their text on line 2 of a 1.5 line high text box.
Some letters you could work out by their tops, some letters you could
not work out!
I don't recall what the fix was ... as I also use dickduckgo.com.
Google does incorrect user agent sniffing and return html gobblygock to
SeaMonkey. You need to set a plain Firefox user agent for this to work.
