 * Hi there!
 * I have an issue with the placeholder. When using Menu Search, having magnifier
   icon in the navigation menu, there is no placeholder text showing when I click
   the icon and try to search.
 * The placeholder text is showing very briefly when I close the search form.
 * I have tried everything in the settings but with no success. Please, help.
 * Thanks,
 * Tpdpr

 * I hope you are well today and thank you for your question.
 * I could confirm the issue on your shared website but I have tested it on my test
   site and it’s working fine for me using the latest version of Ivory Search plugin.
 * This can be a theme issue used on your site so to confirm it just temporarily
   use the Twenty Twenty theme on your site. If everything works fine then it’s 
   your site theme issue.
 * Best regards,

 * Thank you for your reply.
 * I use Genesis framework and a couple of Genesis themes and it seems that the 
   problem can be seen more or less on different Genesis instalations.
 * I am not sure how to proceed, but at the same time it is possible that other 
   Genesis users (and Genesis is quite a popular framework) can also have this issue.
 * Thanks and regards,
 * Todor

 * Do you mean it works fine with the Twenty Twenty theme but not with Genesis themes?

 * I can confirm it is a theme issue. I have made some minor changes of my theme’s
   code in order to fix it the way I want it to be.
 * Thanks!
