Is there an easy way to put in a placeholder in the search textbox option?

website:
  search:
    location: navbar
    type: textbox

I would like to put in a placeholder. Is the only way to do it if I insert some JavaScript in the header?

Thanks. I couldn't find that question when I was searching. Do you think adding an option to put in a placeholder could be considered for a search textbox enhancement? Here is my solution that also works for future folks looking into this.

website:
  search:
    location: navbar
    type: textbox

format:
  html:
    include-in-header:
      - text: |
          <script>window.onload = function() {document.getElementById("autocomplete-0-input").placeholder = "Search Drugs";};</script>

Thanks for the suggestion, this will be supported In our next pre-release build. You can control using:

language: 
  search-text-placeholder: "Search Contents"
