Looks like you did sorta get this done? Not sure if "Content Blocks" is a great placeholder though, that doesn't make much sense as a search term for 90% of the pages.
Oh I didn't mean to commit that change to the placeholder

I've set the placeholder back to the "Search documentation" for now. There's still the hidden label you added, so is that sufficient do you think?
Technically no. The placeholder is meant to suggest a valid entry like "extras" or even just "documentation" but it is not meant to describe the input itself.
Not very high priority, but now it might be confusing and will read 'search documentation' twice to screen readers.

Took a swing at this but didn't get it to work design wise.
<input placeholder>
is meant to display an example of a valid value for the input like "Content Blocks". It is not meant to describe the input or prompt the user.
