Making small modifications to the search widget

Hi,

I'm trying to make a few adjustments to the standard search widget (example: placeholder text). According to this post: www.sitefinity.com/.../style-the-search-box I need to make an default template:

 <%@ Control Language="C#" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="sitefinity" Assembly="Telerik.Sitefinity" Namespace="Telerik.Sitefinity.Web.UI" %>
 
<fieldset id="main" class="sfsearchBox" runat="server">
    <asp:TextBox ID="searchTextBox" runat="server" CssClass="sfsearchTxt1" />
    <asp:Button  id="searchButton" runat="server" Text="<%$Resources:SearchResources, Search %>" OnClientClick="return false;" CssClass="sfsearchSubmit" />
</fieldset>

and map this to the control. like this:

HostType: "Telerik.Sitefinity.Services.Search.Web.UI.Public.SearchBox"
LayoutTemplatePath: "~/App_Data/Sitefinity/WidgetTemplates/SearchBox.ascx" 

When I modify the SearchBox.ascx with for example an other css class nothing changes. Am i forgetting something?

After some fiddling I tried rebooting the webserver (IIS) and this seems to do the trick! 

Hi Jos,

I am glad you have resolved the issue. Please, keep in mind that registering new controls and widgets or making changes in their server code requires restart of the application.
