put the Search button inside Panel and set DefaultButton property of panel to ID of Search button.

XML

<asp:Panel ID="pnl" runat="server" DefaultButton="btnSearch">
    <asp:TextBox ID="txtSearch" runat="server" />
    <asp:Button ID="btnSearch" runat="server" Text="Search" />
</asp:Panel>

now when text entered, press Enter. It will cause Default button i.e. btnSearch to be clicked.

Moreover if u dont want to display Search button, set its display to none.

XML

<asp:Button ID="btnSearch" runat="server" Text="Search" style="Display:None;" />
