1. Focus the search box. Placeholder text disappears 2. Type something 3. Remove what you typed 4. Blur (unfocus) the search box Placeholder text reappears, but is not styled as a placeholder and doesn't disappear when you focus the search box again.
This is probably specific to browsers that don't support the html5 placeholder property of input fields.
