search-entry: Update hint text

'Search your computer' is problematic for various reasons:
 - it specifies the kind of device
 - it focuses on local search (while we also do web search)
 - it does not advertise the instant search functionality

Change the hint text to 'Type to search' as proposed by Allan Day.
