The search form is styled by the theme that you are using on your site.

The search forms displayed in the screenshot of plugin documentation are styled by the default WordPress Twenty Seventeen theme.

If you want to style your search form like Twenty Seventeen theme search form then you can do so by developing custom CSS code and using it on your site as described in the below plugin documentation.
