You can change it with CSS or hacking into the theme. Best course of action is to create a child theme (even if you don’t have that much invested into theme, it’s a good idea), you can edit the theme any way you like and not worry about losing any changes when you perform a theme upgrade.
With your own child theme, you can add your own searchform.php file to fix this issue.
I know, it’s not fun. It’s one of those times where redundancy is not cool.

well, this theme has been hacked to death – so one more thing won’t make any difference…
I guess I’ll have to break down and learn how to use the child theme – if its as simple as the codex says, I should be able to learn it in a couple of weeks 8^)
thank you!

Well then get ride of the input value, “Search…” in your theme’s searchform template or add a line of CSS display:none that prevents displaying the “Search” button.

It’s actually easier.
