Search Location in Code

    I need to edit the Search box on this page:

    https://75.77.18.202/~jpfloor/

    I want to put the text “Search For:” in front of the input box and button. I also need to change the style of the text. I think I have that part figured out within the style sheet. My problem is that I’m not sure which file this is in to move it around. I assume it’s in one of the php files, not sure which one.

    Any help would be highly appreciated.

    It’s your theme that’s putting it that way around.

    The page that contains that search form (and shouldn’t be edited as it’s part of the core) is /wp-includes/general-template.php and the PHP looks like this:

    $form = '<form role="search" method="get" id="searchform" action="' . get_option('home') . '/" >
	<div><label class="screen-reader-text" for="s">' . __('Search for:') . '</label>
	<input type="text" value="' . esc_attr(apply_filters('the_search_query', get_search_query())) . '" name="s" id="s" />
	<input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="'. esc_attr__('Search') .'" />
	</div>
	</form>';

    As you can see from this, if it was displayed without a stylesheet, the label would be in front of the input field. You’ll need to look to your CSS for this I think.
