Please, don't set controls to public - it fixes the design of the form, because you can't change the label out without it affecting (and possibly breaking) outside objects.

Instead, create a public property which allows access, and set the label text yourself within the property. That way, you can replace the label with a more suitable control at some future date, and nothing gets changed outside.
In your search form:
C#
public string Prompt
   {
   get { return myLabel.Text; }
   set { myLable.Text = value; }
   }

In your external class:
C#
search_form.Prompt = "something";

The next problem is that a Form does not contain your controls. You have to cast it to an instance of your search form before the compiler can know what it contains:
C#
foreach (Form form in this.MdiChildren)
{
    MySearchForm search_form = form as MySearchForm;
    if (search_form != null && (string)search_form.Tag == "BROWSE_PATIENTS")
    {
        search_form.Prompt = "something";
        search_form.Activate();
        is_form_exists = true;
        break;
    }
}
