Joomla provides a very nice module for the site search and its in-build in Joomla , but the people perplexed over something . So how to change the Text inside the Search box

Go to joomla root folder->modules->mod_search and open the file mod_search.php and at line 26

$text = $params->get('text', JText::_('search...'));

Change the "search" with your desired string as

$text = $params->get('text', JText::_('search with in our directory...'));

Enjoy ;)
