Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

There is no GUI option available using which you can change the text "Search for a post".

You can use wordpress filter hook "gettext" to change it, for example:
- Add the following code to your current theme's functions.php file
OR
- You can add it to "Custom Code" section offered by Toolset:
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/adding-custom-code/using-toolset-to-add-custom-code/

add_filter('gettext', function($text, $org_text, $domain){
    if($text == 'Search for a post' && $domain == 'wp-cred'){
        $text = 'My search for a post';
    }
    return $text;
}, 10, 3);

Where:
- change the string "My search for a post" as per your requirement.
