In web.conf you can add a key called login_content, and it will add a message on the login page.

If you want the server name to appear on the actual dashboard, you could just hardcode it into the dashboard.xml files, or in theory you could write some custom javascript to write it out dynamically.

But anyway the easiest way is to put the message on the login page, like this:

[settings]
login_content = <h3>this is search01</h3>

also appears in some other answers.

I'm a bit confused by your question. Are you trying to put the literal string "like search01 server" anywhere on a dashboard? Or are you trying to put it as the default text inside a search's input bar?
