Is it much better to put your hint on an HTML5 placeholder?

 placeholder="Search Something"

I think what you are looking for is something like a tool tip

Try yahoo tooltip

Also try putting the title attribute in the input textbox of your search

<input type='text' title='Search something' name='txtSearch'>
