This link is a good place to start: http://www.splunk.com/search/docs?q=dashboard

It is a search for dashboard entires in the documentation in the general sense.

This link is to the specific doc entry on form creation: http://www.splunk.com/base/Documentation/latest/Developer/FormIntro

Try to drop this code into your dashboard panel to give a general sense of how forms can work:

<form>
    <label>My form search</label>
    <searchTemplate>$username$</searchTemplate>

    <fieldset>
        <input type="text" token="username" />
    </fieldset>


</form>
