Now that we introduced the "search" module into core the block has to be cared for. I think as it is right now the text that accompanies it is somewhat duplicate information. It would be a safe assumption to make that people know how to use a search box, and can make the link if the button next to it says Search.

Therefor this patch to remove it, apart from the points mentioned above it is also better aesthetically - as it lines out better with the given block title.

Can we remove both, please? The button titles "Search" already... So both titles/labels look horrible IMHO.

Removed it, with the edit everywhere patch it probably doesn't look as nice as it would to a normal user. But no need to fix that issue here, though - lets get a good UX strategy on that issue first.

how about setting "Search this site" as the defualt block title? (no need for bikeshedding here, just decide.)

Bojhan agreed in IRC that both titles/labels are superfluous.

Ready to fly.
