# Filter: gk/gravityview/search/field/default-value

Filters a search field's default value.

Runs on every resolution attempt, whether or not a default is configured, and whether or not the request is currently pristine for the field's View. Return a non-empty string to provide or override the default. Return an empty string to remove it; an empty result never applies.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Description |
|------|------|-------------|
| $default | `string` | The configured default value, or an empty string when none is set. |
| $field | `\SearchField` | The search field. |
| $view | `\View\|null` | The field's View, if available. |
