 Replying to [comment:2 erikos]:
 > Above patch introduces a string addition ('Control Panel'), question for
 Chris if this ok.

 > @manuq: there is an issue in the patch, only one character is used at a
 time, maybe you can check that.

 Thanks :) Just tested the patch:

 - the OSK is only very intermittently raising when the touching search
 field to focus it for entering a query. After much screen tapping it
 appears to only trigger if you first tap outside of the CP dialogue box,
 on the background parent view, and then back on the CP search field to get
 the OSK to trigger. This is also the same for any text widgets inside the
 various CP modules e.g. the About Me name input widget, the Date & Time
 search widget, or the Network server name widget.
 - focusing the search field usually results in text selecting some part of
 the grey 'Search in Control Panel' hint text
 - Suggest the hint string should be 'Search in Settings' so that we use
 the same language as else where in the user facing strings (CP is only the
 implementation name now)
