Bug Description

In testing, participants were confused when they wanted to make a search because after clicking inside the search box, they had no feedback that the box was ready to accept a search term.

Desired solution:
- When a user click inside the search box, remove the hint text and display a blinking cursor
- This change does not impact the search box being focused by default. A user should be able to start typing as soon as they enter the Dash without needing to click inside the search box.
