    Hey there...trying to remove the line of text that appears in the Search box: "Search this website..."  I had thought it was default for that widget but it appears StudioPress includes that text.  I've looked and looked and looked and cannot find it anywhere!  What php file do I need to edit?

    Cheers!

    You can use this sample in your functions.php file to change the search input text.
