  Hi Adrain,
  
  You can change the search option with the following:
  

  var searchParam = $("input[name=search_param]"); //the hidden field which holds the search type id
  var searchConcept = $("span[id=search_concept]"); //the span field which displays the search type value
  var searchInput = $('[class="navbar__search--input form-control k-input"]') //the input where the placeholder sits
  searchParam.val("KnowledgeBase");
  searchConcept.html('Knowledge Base');
  searchInput.attr("placeholder","Knowledge Base")

  
  You'll need to get this to run when the URL equals the homepage URL only, else the default search will always be Knowledge Base. Also, timing might be an issue as you need to wait for the page to load. A mutation observer would be best but a simple JavaScript timeout would do the job.
  
  As for hiding the 'All Requests'
  
  JavaScript:
  

  $('div[data-bind="visible: catalogVisible"]>h3').hide();

  
  or CSS:
  

  #servicecat-content > div > div > div:nth-child(2) > h3 {
  	display:none;
  } 
  

  
  CSS is probably easier - again for the timing issue.

  How can I make sure the code runs only on the 02efdc70-55c7-4ba8-9804-ca01631c1a54 page?  How can I delay it?  Thank you.
