Camino actually used to do this, and it was a bug. It was changed to
be consistent with all other text fields in the operating system,
which insert the cursor on single click, instead of selecting all
text. For that reason, personally I don't think that this behavior
should change back, especially since the workarounds that you listed
are both relatively easy (and you can change the keyboard shortcut
for "Search the Web" if you like). Just my thoughts. :)

Hi. I have a suggestion for a minor feature change in Camino. Does
anyone else like this idea?
Problem: When I want to do a Google search, there is usually old
search text in the search field at the top. I find that I usually
move the mouse to the field, click once, start typing, then realize
that my input has been inserted in the middle of the stale text so
I have to clear the field and start over.
Current workaround: Either triple-click the text in the search
field before typing, or do shift-cmd-F (which is difficult to
remember).
Suggestion: Clicking in the search text field should select all of
the text so that typing the first character will erase the text to
begin the new search.
Cons: Other browsers don't work this way.
