We can show / hide the submit with submit=true

Hi Alex | Plement ,

Would the placeholder attribute be what you are looking for?

Actually “Placeholder” is just the placeholder, the text inside the input. I want to change the button label. Right now it is “submit”, I want "find" or other

Hi Alex | Plement ,

May I ask where is the button label you are referring to?  I just checked my theme and my search bar doesn't have any button text, only the placeholder I mentioned.

James Peterson - Eastern Logic To show it you need to add submit=true

 

{{search submit=true}}

Hi Alex | Plement,

Thanks for sharing, now I see it!  So I know it may not be as easy as modifying the handlebars, but I was able to change the value of the Submit button through JS.  I'm not sure if you have already found this workaround, so I'll share my code below just in case.

 const submitButton = document.querySelector('div.hero-inner > form > input[type=submit]');
 submitButton.value = "Find";

I hope it helps.  Cheers ~

Thanks James! Great idea! I wanted to use JS as a lost solution, but it works

That's great!  Not always ideal, but it's nice that we can use JS for some of the different cases not supported by Zendesk natively.
