Adding tooltip to WebHelp Search box

I'd like to provide a tooltip or inductive text for the Search text box in WebHelp. Specifically, I want to tell users to enclose multiple words in quotation marks, since this format returns the most relevant results. Is there a way to add a tooltip to the Search box or even just additional text to the line that starts: "Type in the word(s) to search for:"?

We're using RoboHelp HTML 9. It would be great to know how to do this programatically, but, if necessary, I don't mind editing output files

Thanks!

Something like this?

File > Project Settings > General Tab > Advanced > LNG File Tab

There you can change FtsInputPrompt to your own string.
