Bug Description

Currently the Dash search box hint message says "Search" (the search box hint is the grey italic text that is in the search box when no search string is present).

Update this hint to say "Search your computer and online sources".

Note that this hint should *always* be displayed when there is no search string in the search box. There seems to be a bug with the Dash Home at the moment which causes this message to be displayed only sporadically. This bug needs to be fixed at the same time as making this change.
