There's really not much we can do about this currently, the system app is responsible for drawing the search bar - we can pick a colour that will make it blend in slightly better, but the problem is we can't synchronise animations at all, so any non-opaque colour looks quite odd.

If pop-up windows had a different presentation, or we could add a hint to get a different presentation, that would be a possibility, but that's not going to happen in the 2.5 time-frame.
