Do you want a transparent background, and a specific colored text?
Try not giving a point size, and using gravity center.
convert -fill #7fa1cc" -font Arial -gravity center -size x16 \
label:"Test String" search.png +swap +append result.png
Not if appending, the largest image will determine the final height,
and gravity the placement, other color will be set from -background.
Do not forget to use +repage after trim!
convert -fill #7fa1cc" -font Arial -gravity center -size x16 \
label:"Test String" -trim +repage \
search.png +swap -background none +append result.png
