While the effect you observe on the stackoverflow search box is probably browser specific (e.g. Google Chrome) there is a way to achieve what you want using the CSS :focus
pseudo class:
#foo:focus { border: 2px solid red; }
<input id="foo" type="text"/>
Instead of outlines, the box-shadow
property achieves a very smooth, nice effect of any text field:
field {
border-color: #dbdbdb;
}
field:focus { /* When you click on the field... */
border-color: #6EA2DE;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 10px #6EA2DE;
}
Here's a JSFiddle Demo I once made myself showing the above code with a transition fade effect.
Outline property

If you want it to appear when clicking on a text box:
input:focus { outline: /* whatever */ }
IE7 doesn't support the :focus selector, but you can use jQuery:
$("input").focus(function () {
$(this).css('outline','yellow solid thin');
});
Obviously outline isn't supported by IE7 and even if it was I doubt it would "glow". You need to do this with a custom background image or something. There's an example of doing that here:

BTW: You say "border color". A border is not an outline. You can just use:
<input onfocus="this.style.border='2px solid yellow'">
You can do it with the CSS :focus pseudo-class but chances are IE6/7 doesn't support it.
Code-
input[type=text], textarea {
-webkit-transition: all 0.30s ease-in-out;
-moz-transition: all 0.30s ease-in-out;
-ms-transition: all 0.30s ease-in-out;
-o-transition: all 0.30s ease-in-out;
outline: none;
padding: 3px 0px 3px 3px;
margin: 5px 1px 3px 0px;
border: 1px solid #DDDDDD;
}
input[type=text]:focus, textarea:focus {
box-shadow: 0 0 5px rgba(81, 203, 238, 1);
padding: 3px 0px 3px 3px;
margin: 5px 1px 3px 0px;
border: 1px solid rgba(81, 203, 238, 1);
}
