In a relationship form the post selectors have the "Search for a post" placeholder text.

There is no way to customise this, but should be.

I'm re-assigning this to Beda, who handles requests.

The String is translatable, so for example, using WPML you could customize it:

'role_placeholder' => __( 'Search for a post', 'wp-cred' ),

This means you'll find it in WPML's string translation under domain "wp-cred".

However it's not else filterable in the Code yet, I proposed a solution to the DEV which they will decide whether or not to implement.

I have added the request itself here to upvote:
