The #searchInput element is not given a placeholder attribute in the original HTML. The attribute is instead added after the page is finished loading. There doesn't appear to be any reason for this, and it adds an unpleasant "blink" of an empty input tag as the page loads.
This isn't something that should block released, but it is probably easily fixed.
