How do I setup the integrated SIFR fonts?

How do I setup the styled search module?
HiveMind features special styling for the search module which can be seen in the right column of this demo. To activate this on your site, just publish the search module into the "Search" module position. The template's styling will then take over and display it as seen in the demo. (By default, Joomla does not include this module position, so it must be created in the Joomla admin by going to Site > Template Manager > Module Positions and in the first available "empty" module position fields, type in the name "search". Next, click Save in the top right corner.)
