Hmmm, Pink is correct. I'm positive that older versions didn't do 
that because I remember being caught by adding text to a current 
"search term" rather than replacing it as I had intended.

As for the issue of UI consistency, I feel this really is a special 
case here. After all, tabbing into a text field also selects all text 
so what you type will replace what's there, not add to it.

Leave the current behavior alone!
