Localize "Type to search..." placeholder text on the Search Page

Hello dear helpful community! 

I'm building a site for a Russian company using Brine and I managed to localize some of the built-in text. Special thanks to @tuanphan for his Search Block custom code 👍🏽 https://forum.squarespace.com/topic/164077-how-to-edit-customise-search-box-placeholder-text/?do=findComment&comment=375210

What I'm struggling with is the translation of "Type to search..." on the search Page. I'd like it translated OR hidden.

I found this thread https://forum.squarespace.com/topic/156697-customise-styling-on-a-search-block/ but it doesn't seem to work, or maybe I'm doing something wrong. Please help!

Bonus question:
How to make the search results fonts smaller?

Add this to Last Line in Code Injection > Footer

<script>
  $(document).ready(function() {
	$('.sqs-search-page .sqs-search-page-input input').attr('placeholder','Squarespace new text');
});
</script>

add this to Code Injection > header

<style>
  /* Search page input font */
  .sqs-search-page .sqs-search-page-input input {
    font-size: 16px;
}
</style>

OMG, @tuanphan you're fast and helpful as always! Thank you for your prompt reply! 🤍🤍🤍

The Style part works great - the font got smaller.

But the Code part doesn't seem to change anything... I pasted the code to the Footer as is, without even changing your text example. But It still says "Type to search..." ((
This same code works for the Search Block but somehow not for the Search Page. Any idea why?

BUT thanks to you I realized how to implement plan B  - hide the placeholder text making it white. Maybe it will help someone:

<style>
  /* Search page placeholder text color */
  .sqs-search-page .sqs-search-page-input input::placeholder {
    color:white;
  }
</style>

I think this may be because the needed elements are not on the DOM when the code runs. Even though the code has waited until document ready. 😞

This may need a MutationObserver.

Thank you for your reply @creedon!

I guess it will require a pretty long piece of code? I guess I shouldn't overload the site and 'd better stick with making the placeholder text white on white...

Although the code may look long to do what you want it really isn't. I don't think overloading the site is an issue. I have some bits from which I can cobble a script together.

Please bump this thread in several days if I've not posted some code.

Hey! Bumping the thread to ask if you have time to have a look at the code. If not, no problem, I'll stick with the white-on-white option then))))) But I'm sure the solution would help others too

Did you try the code I posted last Friday?

I'm an idiot))) The link brought me to your last reply and I didn't even scroll to the top to see your answer.

OMG! IT WORKS PERFECTLY!!!!!!!!! ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!!! 

Thank you soooo much! This thread can be closed as the super right answer is here.

Please leave the thread open so others can benefit.

Sure thing! I've just marked it solved. But it needs to be seen here forever))

Excellent! This is not directed at sertta but gives me an opportunity to expound.

Unfortunately some folks have a habit of what I call hit and run questioning. They ask a question, get their answer, then delete the thread! 😒

I just don't get that! Folks! A forum is a community. The community helped you by answering your question. Do your part and share the knowledge!

I totally agree! This forum is an outstanding resource. My whole site is built based on other people's threads, their experience and help. Even when I don't find an answer, I find some bits of code that when reassembled can do amazing little things.

Once again, thank you for the beautiful solution!
