Minor customization for the search UI? about trestle-search HOT 4 OPEN

The placeholder text for the search field can be customized by editing the i18n translations in your config/locales/en.yml (or other lang file).

For example, given a resource defined as Trestle.resource(:actors) you could change the placeholder using:

en:
  admin:
    actors:
      search:
        placeholder: "Search actors..."

More advanced customizations might only be possible by creating your own app/views/trestle/search/_search.html.erb file to override the existing view (copied from https://github.com/TrestleAdmin/trestle-search/blob/master/app/views/trestle/search/_search.html.erb).

If you have any other specific customizations in mind, I would be interested to hear them though as they may be achievable with some minor modifications to the gem.

@spohlenz thanks for the solution, however I was wondering if in the future this could be achievable via the search block directly by passing an options hash along with the query... or something along these lines.

Before I override the search template, what I want to implement is a distance drop down next to the search bar. For example: [5mi, 10mi, 25mi, 50mi]. I have a :distance query param attached to persistent_params but no good way to present that option to a user.

Would be nice to customize the aligment of the search box (in my case right aligned).
