 * Hi people,
 * I’d like to change the text on the button of the built-in wordpress search widget.
   I’ve opened widgets.php, default-widgets.php and functions.php and searched for
   the word search in those documents, then changed two of them (one by one) to 
   the Dutch word i’d like to use instead but this only broke the widget (as i had
   expected).
 * So i just can’t find it. I must be very simple though :). Any help?
 * Thank you!!

 * The Search Form can be customized using searchform.php file. Just put your own
   Search Form code over there with your own custom CSS and you’re done. Codex Template
   descriptions will help you understand what should go inside searchform.php file.
