Forum Search box ergonomics
@Andrew
Another (frivolous?) suggestion :
In the Forum Search box, any chance to eliminate the superfluous "Search..." string cluttering up the box,
and instead position the blinking cursor straight off to the box left-most position, ready for action ?
Would save lazy-me (and, no doubt, umpteen other forum fellows) from backspacing the "Search..." string every time...
Thanks,
__philippe

It already works like that for me. Tested on latest version of Firefox.
Perhaps Andrew just added this?

We are talking about the FORUM search box, right ? (as opposed to the main page DB search, which works just fine as it stands)
No changes on my side to the Forum search, I'm afraid:

Ahh! Sorry, you're correct.
Thought you were referring to the main search field and not the forums.

+1 I think "Search..." should be a placeholder instead of a Value to backspace.

You took the technically more accurate, terse descriptors right out of my mouth...

I think I have made the required modification to the phpBB template.+1 I think "Search..." should be a placeholder instead of a Value to backspace.
Lemme know if I've messed anything up.

Another step closer to perfection. Great job!
Re: Forum Search box ergonomics
Thanks, finally! I will search something without the "Search..." prefix ...
