Giving the Search Widget a title

I believe you would have to edit your theme’s sidebar to accomplish this, as the Search widget has no options.

Ahh I’d manually have to do it.

In my sidebar.php, i did this:

<div id="sidebar">
		<ul>
		    <li class="widget-search">
                <h2>Search</h2>
                    <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/searchform.php'); ?>
                </li>
			<?php 	/* Widgetized sidebar */
					if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>

Sorry for doubleposting but a similar problem I had was to get to the actual code for the search widget. I guess you could edit the same file. See my post below. To get a title to edit on the widget page I guess you would have to do something also with /wp-includes/widgets.php.

This must be a well hidden secret. Nobody wants to answer, do this and that with CSS, bla,bla. Of course, don′t touch it you just want to style it. Use CSS! But, just show me the code! I want to use a jQuery input box hint: https://remysharp.com/2007/01/25/jquery-tutorial-text-box-hints/
So to really edit the search form structure you find it here:
/wp-includes/general-template.php
In WP 2.7 it is in function get_search_form() and edit line 113.
Hope that saves some time ??
