I would like to change the text box search display. What file do I need to do that in the Frontier theme? Thanks!

I don’t get what you mean here. Could you explain a bit more.

Sorry.

This might not be part of your theme, but when I changed the theme it reverted back to something other than what I had for the search’s textbox phrase. Here is a link to a screenshot. The red circled area is the text I would like to change.

The word “search” shows up too many times! I’d like to change the text on the button as well now that I think about it.

Yes, that’s not part of the theme. It is part of WordPress’ default widgets. You can still change it though by adding this into a child-theme functions.php
```
function change_search_placeholder($text) {
	return str_replace('placeholder="Search &hellip;"', 'placeholder="Search Text"', $text);
}
add_filter('get_search_form', 'change_search_placeholder');

function change_search_submit($text) {
	return str_replace('value="Search"', 'value="Search Now"', $text);
}
add_filter('get_search_form', 'change_search_submit');
```
You can also leave the replacement texts blank (ex. value=””) if you don’t want them to show.
