Applied, thanks!

Some things that might still be improved:

- clear the field if one navigates away? Or at least make the text stand out
  less in that case, that probably would be good to do generally when the field
  is not active.

- the "click to search" is IMO a bit subtle and slightly surprising, especially
  when one doesn't click on the search icon or when there isn't even such a
  search icon. Don't get me wrong, I get where that idea come from and do not
  find it bad per se and have no definitive improvement suggestions ready, as
  it's not really a blocker or set in stone we can also wait on feedback or
  some real good idea, these things often just needs a bit of time actually
  using them.
