Why does the Search Text looks so different and how could I make it look more normal (so it looks more like the normal navigation text)
Hi @shootclever,
Thank you for your question.
It is a placeholder text, therefore, it is styled like that.
You can try changing its style using Yellow Pencil editor as described in the below page.

Best regards,
Shufflehound teamIs it not possible to stylize it otherwise? I do not want to pay 26 bucks for such a unsecure tool:
I know they fixed the issue but still.
And is it possible to change that text somewhere?
Solution for this topic
Yes, the issue of Yellow pencil editor plugin is fixed and you don’t need to purchase it comes bundled with the theme that you can install from Admin Area -> Appearance -> Install Plugins
The search form and its placeholder text are displayed by the theme searchform.php file that you can change as described in the following page.

Alternatively, you can change the text by translating your theme or using any of the below plugins.
