• wp-query
• loop
• search
• forms

• where is your search input? show the code, sharing snapshot of the code makes us to help more difficult – Vishwa Commented May 7, 2019 at 9:49
• Search input is in my sidebar. I can get the text from the input and show it but i want it only to show if there was anything searched. When there is nothing searched it should show 'mijn gemeente'. So basically i need some sort of IF loop i think. – Dennis Commented May 7, 2019 at 10:04
• I found it out, thanks for the help though. :) – Dennis Commented May 7, 2019 at 10:15

You can do that using jQuery's focus function. add following into your php file inside <script> tags.

$("#your-searchinput-id").focus(function() {
    $("h4.title_sidebarsub").text("<?php echo $string ?>")
});
$(this).blur(function() {
    $("h4.title_sidebarsub").text("mijn gemeente")
});
