    Hi,
    I installed the Relevanssi plugin to do the search on my site.
    But in the Searchbox I get the word “search”.
    I contacted the plugin author of Relevanssi, but he says it has nothing to do with his plugin, but with the theme you have.
    So my question is: how can I remove the word “search” from the searchbox?
    And if that isn’t possible, can I change the font size and how?
    Thanks.
    My site is here: https://www.patriciakaas.nl/blog/

    Andrew it is always better to start your own thread.
    But go to the Tempera Settings/ Graphic Settings/ SEARCH BAR LOCATIONS.
    There you can change the default settings for the search bar.

    I figured out how to change the fontsize of the word “Search” by adding this to the css of the Tempera Settings under Miscellaneous:

    .searchform input[type="search"]  {/* This keeps the search inputs in line This is the Sidebar Search*/
	display: block;
	float: left;
	padding: 0 30px 0 10px;
	height: 50px;
	width: 100%;
	border-radius: 4px;
	font-size: 18px;
}

    But I still rather would remove the word “Search” entirely.

    The search string is a placeholder for the search form. It can be removed by removing the actual string or you could try this very weird bit of CSS: 

    .searchform input[type="search"]::-webkit-input-placeholder { /* WebKit browsers */
    color:    transparent;
}
.searchform input[type="search"]:-moz-placeholder { /* Mozilla Firefox 4 to 18 */
   color:    transparent;
}
.searchform input[type="search"]::-moz-placeholder { /* Mozilla Firefox 19+ */
   color:    transparent;
}
.searchform input[type="search"]:-ms-input-placeholder { /* Internet Explorer 10+ */
   color:    transparent;
}
