  1. Having pre-existing text in search boxes. Uh, I hate that. :)

Normally, me too. And though it is against WCAG, I also will try without it in #7.

Change


<label for="query">Search for: </label></span>
<input type="text" name="query" value="Search LUGNET" size="16"  maxlength="200" id="query" />


to


<label for="query" accesskey="s">Search for: </label></span>
<input type="text" name="query" value="Search LUGNET" size="16"  maxlength="200" id="query" onfocus="this.value = '';" onclick="this.value =  '';" />


The onclick/onfocus erase the text. The accesskey attribute lets people type ‘s’ to give the search box focus if they have accessibility issues. You might have to move the accesskey to the field itself; I don’t remember if putting it on a label still gives the field focus.
