You can handle the keydown event of your TextBox control.

private void textBox1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
    if(e.KeyCode==Keys.Enter)
    buttonSearch_Click(sender,e);
}

It works even when the button Visible property is set to false

If buttonSearch has no code  and only action is to return dialog result then       private void textBox1 KeyDown object sender  KeyEventArgs e                if  e KeyCode    Keys Enter              DialogResult   DialogResult OK

You could register to the KeyDown-Event of the Textbox  look if the pressed key is Enter and then execute the EventHandler of the button   private void buttonTest Click object sender  EventArgs e        MessageBox Show  Hello World       private void textBoxTest KeyDown object sender  KeyEventArgs e        if  e KeyCode    Keys Enter                buttonTest Click this  new EventArgs

There are some cases  when textbox will not handle enter key  I think it may be when you have accept button set on form  In that case  instead of KeyDown event you should use textbox1 PreviewKeyDown object sender  PreviewKeyDownEventArgs e
