This article describes how to customize the label of the search buttons on the different sites in your multiple site project. There are two approaches for customizing the label – you can hard-code the label for each site and you can dynamically change the label via the Labels & Messages page.

For each site, you can hard-code different search button label. Perform the following:

You can also set the labels of the search button on each site dynamically, via the Labels & Messages page.
To do this, for each site, you must create one resource class to hold the label.
Perform the following:
NOTE: If you do not have a Global.asax file added to your project, you can add it by opening the context menu of SitefinityWebApp and clicking Add » New Item… » Visual C# » Web » Global Application Class. If you already have a Global.asax file, you must merge it with the one above.
