@gunju2221 Thanks, I saw that, but as far as I can tell, that’s for the hint text if searching using ajax (?)

What I’ve done is replaced the appropriate strings in :

bp-blogs/bp-blogs-templatetags.php
bp-core/bp-core-templatetags.php
bp-forums/bp-forums-templatetags.php
bp-groups/bp-groups-templatetags.php

which appears to have done the trick. Searches are working fine, as is the hint text.

Let me know if you foresee any problem with this!
