Explanation:
There are plenty of different options. I'd be wary of using 'mask' for a general readership ...

I think 'form' would be my personal favourite!

search menu, search page


Explanation:
any of those two should be suitable, really depends on the look of it. If it is a separate page, I guess search page is better, if it is a section of another page, search menu would be more appropriate.

search screen / search input mask


Explanation:
Two more options.
Search screen may be alittle too much, because most search es are entered through tiny fields for entering a term.

Andy's search mask is pretty good, but without the "input" could be misunderstood.

Explanation:
It would help to have an idea of the particular 'thing' you have in mind. Many search engines involve a small field somewhere on the screen into which you enter a search string, in which case ...

search feature
search option
search function
search field
or just search

'If you can't find what you are looking for, try our search feature'

Just an idea!

Explanation:
Sorry about the multiple answers! But this one just popped into my head. Would only work if it's a single field, for multiple fields I'd use form as above.

Right, I'll leave you in peace now!
