Go to:

/cobalt/modules/mod_cobalt_filters/tmpl

You should make a copy of:

default.php

Rename it to something like:

default-placeholder.php

Open in your favorite text/code editor.

Look around line# 41.

There you will find the general search input field with name="filter_search".

Simply add "placeholder" attribute, like it is used in markup-template, too.

Original line:

<input type="text" class="span12" name="filter_search" value="<?php echo $state->get('records.search');?>" />

Replace with:

<input type="text" placeholder="<?php echo JText::_('CSEARCHPLACEHOLDER');?>" class="span12" name="filter_search" value="<?php echo $state->get('records.search');?>" />

Frontend result:

Heads-up:

CSEARCHPLACEHOLDER is the sample language constant from markup-template. You might use your own constant e.g. :

CSEARCHPLACEHOLDERMODULE

Then you can use Joomla language override manager to create independent terms and translations.

@Sergey / MintJoomla

I suggest to add this attribute and respective language constants in future releases. Thanks in advance.
