I simply want the ability to remove the default text "Search this site: " from the $search_box variable when theming in Drupal 6, as well as possibly changing the submit button's text from "Search" to "Go!" or something like that... The way I think this function should be overridden is below. I can't see why it's not working.

Also would like to see how to override this function properly.

As I understand it, the $search_box and search block are two different things...

function search_forms() {
  $forms['search_theme_form']= array(
    'callback' => 'search_box',
    'callback arguments' => array('search_theme_form'),
  );
  $forms['search_block_form']= array(
    'callback' => 'search_box',
    'callback arguments' => array('search_block_form'),
  );
  return $forms;

function search_theme() {
  return array(
    'search_theme_form' => array(
      'arguments' => array('form' => NULL),
      'template' => 'search-theme-form',
    ),
    'search_block_form' => array(
      'arguments' => array('form' => NULL),
      'template' => 'search-block-form',

  );
}

With Darly's links to pointers to some information I had not run across previously, I was finally able to put things I had seen in several different places together

Your example does not remove the label tag. This one should solve this issue.

<?php
// $Id: search-theme-form.tpl.php,v 1.0 2008/06/14 10:10:00 hass Exp $
?>
<div id="search" class="container-inline">
  <?php
  $search['search_theme_form'] = preg_replace('/<label(.*)>(.*)<\/label>\n/i', '', $search['search_theme_form']);
  print $search['search_theme_form'];
  print $search['submit'];
  print $search['hidden'];
  ?>
</div>

Thanks for a great tutorial. But can you make this work with multilingual sites? I got this to work when I removed translation strings but still I think there is a better way ;)

I got this to work now!

Thanks you both Purrin and Hass :)
