I was looking the insertion point to change some stuff in the search form. I manage to change the search block, but I can't find a way to do the same with the form I see in site.com/search/node I was 100% sure the hook should be function SearchformMod_search_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) { } But it seems like I'm wrong. If I try to use Theme developer I don't get any .tpl suggestion either. Any Idea ?

The hook you want is hook_form_FORM_ID_alter():
/**
* Implements hook_form_FORM_ID_alter().
*/
function MYMODULE_form_search_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
// Code here
}
Alternatively you could use hook_form_alter():
/**
* Implements hook_form_alter().
*/
function MYMODULE_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
if ($form_id == 'search_form') {
// Code here
}
}

I was trying with something like this: function SearchformMod_form_search_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) { $form['#description'] = 'A DESCRIPTION'; } But it doesn't work. The module is enabled. This is why I think the naming wasn't right. The form is the one I see in /search/node– aolbaCommented Feb 19, 2013 at 15:29

1@aolba Try something like this instead:
$form['custom'] = array('#weight' => 0, '#markup' => 'Hello world!');– dxcCommented Feb 20, 2013 at 5:49 -
Thank you for the help. This works and help me to keep searching in the right direction. Now I know I have the right name.– aolbaCommented Feb 20, 2013 at 15:07
The suggestion MYMODULE_form_search_form_alter() did not work for me. Drupal would not even call it. I ended up using:
function MYMODULE_form_search_block_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
// Code here
}
