    @Alex, looks like copying the code in your screenshot directly from this article might copy 'smart quotes' instead of 'straight quotes'. That's what it looks like in your screenshot and that's how it's working for me. 

    Try deleting each smart quote in what you've copied into the JS part of your Help Center code and that should do it. 

    Here's a video I recorded showing me previewing the Search input field before/after my suggestion.

    Give it a try.

    Hi Rim, 

    That's correct! The three parts of Lindsey's post and the discussion here in the comments section will remain online, so you'll be able to reference this at any point in the future.

    Thanks for joining!

    Hello-

    On the web widget. Can it be modified to say help center and not just help

    .

    Yes! It's on the settings page for web widget there are three options: Support, Contact Us or Feedback (located in the gear in the lower right of the agent/admin page). At the bottom it should have a drop down where you can change the text.

    I seemed to add the code in order to change the Search text, what am I doing wrong (see attached code)

    Update | This article has been updated so copying the code directly from this article now will be copying straight quotes instead of smart quotes.

    This was great @lindsay!  I started with Part 3 after we suffered a bot attack that generated a bunch of unwanted tickets this week.  It would be nice if the organization object exposed in Help Center included custom fields though.  To get the trick to hide the submit request button to work, we wound up having to tag a ton of organizations.

    EX:

    Object {name: "orgName", default: "domainName", tags: Array(0), isShared: false}

    NOTE the absence of organization_fields .
