    JavaScript
    nebula.menuSearchReplacement = async function(){
        if ( jQuery('.nebula-search').length ){
            jQuery('.menu .nebula-search').each(function(){
                let randomMenuSearchID = Math.floor((Math.random()*100)+1); //Why does it need this again? Add comment please.
                jQuery(this).html('<form class="wp-menu-nebula-search nebula-search search footer-search" method="get" action="' + nebula.site.home_url + '/"><div class="nebula-input-group"><i class="fa-solid fa-magnifying-glass"></i><label class="visually-hidden" for="nebula-menu-search-' + randomMenuSearchID + '">Search</label><input type="search" id="nebula-menu-search-' + randomMenuSearchID + '" class="nebula-search input search" name="s" placeholder="Search" autocomplete="off" x-webkit-speech /></div></form>');

            jQuery('.nebula-search input').on('blur', function(){
                if ( jQuery(this).val() === '' || jQuery(this).val().trim().length === 0 ){
                    jQuery(this).removeClass('focus active focusError').attr('placeholder', jQuery(this).attr('placeholder'));
                } else {
                    jQuery(this).removeClass('active');
                }
            });
        }
    };
    

    Override

    To override or disable this JavaScript function, simply redeclare it with the exact same function name. Remember: Some functionality is conditionally loaded via dynamic imports, so if your function is not overriding properly, try listening for a DOM event (described below).

    JavaScript

    For non-module import functions:

    nebula.menuSearchReplacement = function(){
        //Write your own code here, leave it blank, or return false.
    }


    For dynamically imported module function overrides:

    jQuery(window).on('load', function(){
        nebula.menuSearchReplacement = function(){
            //Write your own code here, leave it blank, or return false.
        }
    });


    Custom Nebula DOM events do also exist, so you could also try the following if the Window Load listener does not work:

    jQuery(document).on('nebula_module_loaded', function(module){
        //Note that the module variable is also available to know which module specifically was imported
        if ( typeof nebula.menuSearchReplacement === 'function' ){
            nebula.menuSearchReplacement = function(){
                //Write your own code here, leave it blank, or return false.
            }
    	}
    });
