I'd like to change the label for "K2 Items" to "Blog Entries" for the "Search Only" section on the Search page... but I can't find where the Search component is getting that label from.

Hi Mary and Codeless,

In your root/plugins/search/k2.php

find around line 19:
static $areas = array('k2'=>'K2 Items');

and replace with:
static $areas = array('k2'=>'Blog Entries');

-or-
change the text between the single qoutes 'k2'=>'K2 Items' to whatever you want.

Be sure to back up file first.
I know many have herd this before...I recommend using Firebug and Web Developer for firefox - these two tools can help a bunch when troubleshooting and over all development - lots of features...

Hope that helps

Better if you not edit the /plugins/search/k2.php file - it will get replaced with an update and will not translate to the proper language when you start using that feature - if you changed it you should restore it to how you had it before... notice this is an old thread and the line is now:
static $areas = array('k2' => 'K2_ITEMS');

Instead add to your language override.ini file, for example add the following line to your /language/overrides/en-GB.override.ini file and replace "Blog Entries" with what ever you want. NOTE: since Joomla 2.5 you can also edit this in joomla backend > Extensions > Language Manager.
K2_ITEMS="Blog Entries"
