Replace standard search with WooCommerce product search?

I’ve just tried this, and there are a few problems: The placeholder text doesn’t clear when clicked in the search box, and also the nice little magnifying glass icon is replaced by the word “search” which is too big for the button!

Any ideas please?

Fair enough, thanks. But even the placeholder text issue? Seems like a glitch

Sure:

Hi Ismael, I managed to fix it! I’m really not a programmer in any way, but kept hacking about with the above suggestion and the original file, and came up with this fix:

<?php 

global $avia_config; 

//allows you to modify the search parameters. for example bbpress search_id needs to be 'bbp_search' instead of 's'. you can also deactivate ajax search by setting ajax_disable to true
$search_params = apply_filters('avf_frontend_search_form_param', array(
	
	'placeholder'  	=> __('Search','avia_framework'),
	'search_id'	   	=> 's',
	'form_action'	=> home_url( '/' ),
	'ajax_disable'	=> false
));

$disable_ajax = $search_params['ajax_disable'] == false ? "" : "av_disable_ajax_search";

$icon  = av_icon_char('search');
$class = av_icon_class('search');
?>
<form role="search" method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php echo home_url( '/' ); ?>">
			<div>
				<label class="screen-reader-text" for="s">Search for:</label>
				<input type="text"  name="s" id="s" placeholder='<?php echo $search_params['placeholder']; ?>' />
				<input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="<?php echo $icon; ?>" class="button <?php echo $class; ?>" />
				<input type="hidden" name="post_type" value="product">
			</div>
</form>

Seems to work! :)
