When I drag some text and drop it in the search box, it becomes gray and stays around the word 'Search'. If I try to remove the word 'Search' and click on the box, the text I dropped just now disappears.

The same thing happens in FireFox 3.6.7 and IE8: label "search" prevents text drag-and-dropping. The workaround is to remove the label by inserting e.g. one space into the search field. Google Chrome works ok; Opera 10.60 doesn't seem to have this feature at all.
This may be due to an attempt to fix bug 24096.
If only all browsers supported HTML5 yet, then this would be so much easier :D http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#the-placeholder-attribute
I think we had code in place to deal with drag/drop before...I'll see what I can come up with.
