I'm looking for a way to add default text ("search this site") inside the search box. Can anyone help?

This is for a Drupal 5.x site, but I'd like use it on future Drupal 6.x sites, if possible, too.

Thanks.

The value attribute of the input tag for the search bar is what you want. You can apply a theme override to include your custom value into the search bar.

I suggest to use the module custom search: http://drupal.org/project/custom_search

It does all you need to fully customyze your search block.

Thanks prestonso and Michel, but I solved the original problem myself and, more recently, have been using the excellent Custom Search module.
