If you change the default sidebar (as soon as you put any widgets in it, you replace the default sidebar) and re-include Search, it does not have that initial entry.

As there are no options you can set for the Search widget, I think the only way you'll be able to keep that initial entry is to keep the default sidebar.

I am new and I just played a bit. I've chosen the chaoticsoul theme and changed the widgets a bit. IIRC the search box widget had a title at the beginning. Now this title vanished and the search widget causes a w3c validation error which is not present without the box. Have a look here:

which also includes a link to validate. AFAICS the errors are connected to the title. Bug, feature?

Cheers
