    Solved it already! Thanks to Google support!
    Here's the steps I did:

    1) Chose Tools in the menu bar
    2) Clicked Internet Options and selected the Advanced tab
    3) Under the Browsing section, I removed the tick from "Enable visual styles on buttons and controls in webpages"
    4) and click on OK,
    5) PRESTO! Google search bar went back to normal :)
