Answer 1

Create a Panel that contains both the TextBox and LinkButton. The Panel has a property called DefaultButton, set DefaultButton equal to the ID of the LinkButton.

<asp:Panel id="panel" runat="server" DefaultButton="linkButton">
    <asp:TextBox id="search" runat="server"/>
    <asp:LinkButton id="linkButton" runat="server"/>
</asp:Panel>

Answer 2

Can you not just use AutoPostback on the textbox?
