It may require custom script, add this to footer <script> (function() { document.querySelector("input.search-input").setAttribute("placeholder", "This is your Search Input"); })() </script

Thanks so much! I thought it was possible with something like: blah-blah-blah:after { content: 'custom text'; }   Anyway, your solution works.
