When reaching the search results page though a misspelling in the search box or through searching for something that doesn't have its own page, the word that had been typed is the exact same colour as the search box on that page until it is clicked on. Here's just a random search for the sake of demonstration. As you can see, in the box beside "Search this wiki", you can't see any words. Now click on that box. The text that was typed to search ("Random words") appear as the background colour changes. Now, let's say that the user landed on that search results page because of a typo. Wouldn't it be useful for them to be able to see what they've written before clicking the box to make it active, and so see where they made their mistake?
