The UISearchBar and the UITextField have this property of a placeholder which is the default text in the fields.

1.Change it from the Interface Builder. Interface Builder

2.Change it through code

self.searchBarObject.placeholder = @"Key In Video Title To Search";

Read what Apple has written about the UISearchField.

You can use the plain old placeholder property:

mySearchBar.placeholder = @"Foo!";

Relevant documentation.

It can also be changed within Interface Builder:
