 * Hi there! I added a search widget. Screenshot:
 * [http://wimg.mp/XZp.jpg](http://wimg.mp/XZp.jpg)
 * See the bottom part of that screenshot? It is the default widget that is in wordpress.
   How can I modify the words ‘Search for:’?
 * Thanks!

 * Usually, the data for the “Search for” will be in either one of these files located
   in your WordPress Theme:
    – search.php – sidebar.php
