Search label text for the search form

Hi everyone,

 

I'm new to Lithium,

 

From looking at other sites made with lithium, I can see how powerful the platform can be.

However, I find the documentation hard to navigate and references are hard to find.

 

Specifically, how to I get placeholder text on top of the search bar, on the search form?

 

I've seen on some sites, that the label has an "ontop" class, but I don't really know where to find how to change this.

 

On a general level, where should I be looking for this information without looking on the forum?

    For the text on the search box, i believe its a resource key:

    form.SearchForm.field.messageSearchField.default.text = Search the Community
