It may be helpful for site builders to be able to remove the label "Search all sites" on the Multisite Search Block from the configuration page.

I went ahead and removed it in the module easily enough, but on update of the module versions, it will show up again. I want it removed so that my users will not even think about the fact that they are searching over multiple sites. Our effort is to include our subsites as if they were part of the larger organizations main site. If someone uses search, I want their experience to be as seamless as possible and not trip them up that they are searching other sites. They do not need to know that at all.

Just a suggestion. Let me know what you think.

Although this isn't a great solution for everybody, there is a way to override the block theme using theme_box().
Not sure how though.

I suppose I can add a configuration option for the block title. And the tab, too, I guess.

But this isn't the block title. The text on the search box "Search all sites" is added to in the module to be next to the search box. You can control the block title in the block configuration by just using "none" like any other block. I don't mind overriding the module in code, but others may not know what to do.
Maybe it's just something that could be included in the documentation as to how to remove the text if you don't want it.

daniel-san,

I implemented two configuration settings: Overriding the block label, and also the search results tab text. They're configuration options under "Search settings".

I realized that the 6-x.2.x-dev version wasn't accessible from the project page! I've enabled it.

Please download the -dev version and test it: http://drupal.org/node/814170

Sorry, I had been away from the issue queue for a bit. Work and life just seem to get in the way too often.

Just downloaded and tested and it worked perfectly. Great job and thank you for taking the time to make that work.
