I used the WebPI silverstripe locally and all worked great, but when I used the other install to get my site up on my host, the search box adds the word "search" above the input field. I'm not referring to the word "search" in the input field, but just above it. How do I remove this? I did a search thru the code of the entire site and couldn't find it. Please see attached picture.

Unfortunately the CSS addition doesn't work, as I've tried it myself. Try this though... open up your Page.php file, and remove this string of code:

$searchText = isset($_REQUEST['Search']) ? $_REQUEST['Search'] : 'Search';

That should give you an empty search box on your site, and not affect the search function. You could also replace the word 'Search' at the end of the string above with whatever you'd like it to say as well; Enter keyword, Search here etc...

Hope this helped,

      $fields = new FieldSet(

       return new SearchForm($this, "SearchForm", $fields, $actions);

change to

    */
   function SearchForm() {
      $searchText = isset($_REQUEST['sometext or nothing']) ? $_REQUEST['sometext or nothing'] : 'Search';
      $fields = new FieldSet(
       new TextField("Search", "", $searchText)
       );
      $actions = new FieldSet(
       new FormAction('results', 'Search')
       );

       return new SearchForm($this, "SearchForm", $fields, $actions);
   }
