We were using custom Javascript to fill in the placeholder text in empty
text fields and clear it away when the user tabbed into it.

Ghada's patch switches us to using the HTML5 standard "placeholder"
attribute, which works in all of our supported browsers:

Bug description:
  Mahara: 16.04.2
  DB: Postgres
  Browser: Firefox
  OS: Linux

  The place holder text 'Search' in the site search field is removed
  after the user first tabs into the field. It is left empty thereafter.

  For accessibility, the 'Search' text should be replaced again after
  the user tabs out of the field and they have not entered any text.
