This is my jQuery code:

$('input[name="Search"]').blur(function(e) {
    $(this).text('');
});

And my HTML snippet:

<input name="Search" type="text" id="Search" class="MainMenu" />

But it doesn’t work, does anybody know why?

You are using text() on input type text which is not defined for input type=text. You need to use val()

$('input[name="Search"]').blur(function(e) { 
 $(this).val('');
});

If you have id, you can use id as it will be more efficient then getting element with name selector.

$('#Search').blur(function(e) { 
    $(this).val('');
});
