 >  1. add {{{placeholder}}} element to search input, with something like
 {{{<?php echo esc_attr_x( 'Search &hellip;', 'placeholder' ); ?>}}} as the
 text

 Please avoid using named entity references - [http://www.w3.org/TR/html-
 polyglot/#named-entity-references polyglot documents] MUST use character
 references instead, and SHOULD use hexadecimal references where possible.

 {{{<?php echo esc_attr_x( 'Search &#x2026;', 'placeholder' ); ?>}}}

 If necessary, add a comment if you don't like magic numbers (not much
 worse than magic abbreviations) without an explanation:

 {{{<?php echo esc_attr_x( 'Search &#x2026;', 'placeholder' ); //
 horizontal ellipsis ?>}}}
