How to add helper text on global search

I want a helper text on the global search field. But i tried to apply several different approaches it didn't work out.

Note:
- i tried to add these solution in the table section code.
-
->searchable()
->searchable()
i have user this on the form fields.


->searchable()
->searchInputPlaceholder('Search by ID, patient name and phone')
->searchable()
->searchInputPlaceholder('Search by ID, patient name and phone')


and other approach was this

->search(placeholder: 'Search by ID, patient name and phone')


and this one
->headerActions([
            \Filament\Actions\Action::make('searchInfo')
                ->label('Search by ID, patient name and phone')
                ->icon('heroicon-o-information-circle')
                ->color('gray')
                ->size('sm')
                ->extraAttributes(['class' => 'text-xs opacity-70'])
                ->disableForm(),
        ])
->headerActions([
            \Filament\Actions\Action::make('searchInfo')
                ->label('Search by ID, patient name and phone')
                ->icon('heroicon-o-information-circle')
                ->color('gray')
                ->size('sm')
                ->extraAttributes(['class' => 'text-xs opacity-70'])
                ->disableForm(),
        ])


But they all give
method doesn't exist error.
method doesn't exist error.


How can i achieve that. just want to show a helper text for the user to know with which he can search in the table.
