When using an android phone (in this case my HTC One running android 4.3 and Chrome browser) whenever I need to migrate a question I can select the 'Migration' option but can't clear all the placeholder text. It just adds itself back in when i've cleared it out.

Selecting the field makes the `'type to search'` text selectable. Should I clear it out and then start typing in there the `'type to search'` text adds back into the field next to where i've typed. So in effect I end up with `'stack overflowtype to search'` showing in the field that I then have to move the cursor to the end of the text and delete the supplementary text.

Now this is annoying. 

It would be annoying if it were on a desktop where I have a mouse to help me, but with my fingers jabbing at a text cursor in a small field several times it drives me crazy.

So my suggestion is - **Please remove the placeholder**. There isn't really a Label on that field anyway, so for accessibility purposes there really should be one. So perhaps set 'Type to Search for a Stack Exchange Site' as the field label.

Or just scrap the placeholder anyway. People with the rep to do a migration should know how these sites work anyway, so it's arguable that it's redundant text anyway. But I suggest having it as a proper form label instead. 

Note, I've seen this post (below) but it doesn't seem to be the same issue that I have.
