"Placement on Page" -- This lists the locations on the page where the Search box will go. The locations depend on the layout of the page. For example, for a page with a header and footer and three columns in between, the list will be: Header, Left Column, Middle Column, Right Column, Footer.

 

"Zone index" -- where is the Search box placed in relation to other web parts in the same location (section) of the page. The Zone Index is 0-based, with 0 being the top place.

 

"List Search Header Text"  -- simply the header (title) of the Search box.

 

You can also search through multiple lists  by selecting multiple lists into the "Lists to search" field, as shown below.
