--- Comment #3 from Amir E. Aharoni <[email protected]> ---
My understanding is that it happens because in IE jquery.placeholder is applied
to all the fields on the page in
resources/mediawiki.page/mediawiki.page.ready.js and causes .val() to return
the placeholder text.

As an experiment, I tried replacing the core jquery.placeholder.js with the
plugin of the same name from here:
https://github.com/mathiasbynens/jquery-placeholder 

Everything just worked, including the placeholder in the search box.
