PHP warnings in logs directory

ZC 1.5.6c
PHP 7.3

After posting another thread titled "Hundreds of Thousands of MYdebug logs" I realized afterwards that the PHP warning in those errors is pertinent.

This is the error: "PHP Warning: Use of undefined constant SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT - assumed 'SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in /usr/www/users/xxxxxx/store/includes/templates/template_default/sideboxes/tpl_search.php on line 17."

The site was upgraded to ZC 1.5.6c from ZC 1.5.4 I believe. My client hired someone else to do the upgrade because I was not comfortable doing the upgrade for her. I did however upgrade the PHP version to 7.3 for compatibility issues she was having with her version of WordPress and related plugins.

I'm not sure how to proceed here but am hoping this is a minor issue to fix.

PHP Warning: Use of undefined constant SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT

I found a thread on GitHub that mentioned this issue and it suggested checking to see if sideboxes/search was turned ON in admin -> tools -> layout boxes controller. Sure enough it was. I turned it off and the MYdebug errors ceased.

But now I won't see any error logs at all? That can't be good. And of course there won't be a search function anymore in the store in the left column. So how is that a fix?

Here is that thread in GitHub.

In includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/header.php
do you have

define('SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT', 'search here');

[cnymike]

I have this...

// header Search Button/Box Search Button
define('HEADER_SEARCH_BUTTON','Search');
define('HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT', 'Enter search keywords here');

So that would be a "no." :)
Go ahead and add the line I showed you.

Yes, that would be a no.

My Custom template had old code in it. Your code has fixed the issue. Thank you.
