Description Tomasz Finc 2012-05-09 20:01:56 UTC 
Full screen search does not show explanation text on Android. iOS works just fine.
Comment 1 Phil Chang 2012-05-14 21:36:21 UTC 
Definitely the case on a Nexus One and a Samsung Galaxy. This is referring to the search field after full-screen search appears, not the search field in the article view.

Click to search placeholder text

This also applies to ios 4.*

On Android and ios 4.3 placeholder text disappears straight away when you //focus// the input element which has it. You cannot override this. ios 5 and newer Androids rectifies that by keeping the placeholder until text has been inputted.

My suggestion would be to change the placeholder text of the search box to 'Click to search' [1]. When the user clicks [2] the text below as imagined in bug 36716 can guide them:

This bug seems outdated is a browser problem and I don't think we should worry too much about this.
