The 2026 Drupal Business Survey is open. Your response will help shape the future of the Drupal business ecosystem.It would be great to be able to set placeholder text in the search box per field. I have made a patch that adds a section on the settings form for placeholder text that will show on every field. I will attach it in the next comment so I can get the issue number for the filename.

drup16 commentedI did not find this issue before so I created one similar to this (Descriptive placeholder for Search is missing). It took a slightly different approach but since this issue has already been merged, I am going to close mine as a duplicate and linked the two in case anyone comes across my issue.
