Search bar font color

The font in the top right search bar is light gray on white, even when something is entered. That could be made more legible.

I'm busy changing the top search somewhat, integrating it with the search button below it. When you click Search it will show the input box and put the cursor focus there, so it's still one-click and you can type your query.

While you're at it, the search could use case sensitivity and intentional whitespaces.
Something like quoted search terms would probably do.
