Change the "Search ..." word into a Magnifying Lens icon

Hi there,

I believe this is what you are looking for:

You can search generate_search_placeholder in this forum to see some examples.

Let me know if this helps :)

Hi,

Thanks for the answer. I tried as you said (I am using a child theme and I did the change in the functions.php file)

But is not working :(

This is what I am trying:

add_filter( 'generate_search_placeholder','lh_search_placeholder_icon' );
function lh_search_placeholder_icon()
{
	return '<i class="fa fa-search" aria-hidden="true"></i>';
}

Icons can't be added as placeholders like that, unfortunately. Do you have any examples of the look your client is going for that we can see?

Something like that

or like the one used here https://www.bs.ch/

Maybe this will help?: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/generate_search_button/#adding-a-font-icon
