Voice Search doesn't replace 'Search Boards.ie...' text

When I click on the voice search icon and speak to enter some text, the text is entered after the 'Search Boards.ie...' text

In the attached screenshots I searched for 'test' using voice search, this actually searches for 'Search Boards.ie...test' - clicking on the search box after the voice search->text is entered doesn't clear the search box.

Clicking on the voice search icon initially focuses on the search box, this clears the 'search boards.ie...' text, but then the voice-to-text box appears with the 'speak now' dialog, this steals the focus away from the search box and since it is still blank the javascript replaces the 'search boards.ie...' text.

A few different approaches to fix it come to mind, a quick, dirty, and untested solution:

$('#search .submit').click(function(){
		if($('#sbutton').attr('value').indexOf('Search Boards.ie...') != -1 )  {
			if($('#sbutton').attr('value').length > 19) {
				var x = $('#sbutton').attr('value');
				x = x.substr($('#sbutton').attr('value').indexOf('Search Boards.ie...'), 19);
				$('#sbutton').attr('value', x);
			} else {
				$('#sbutton').attr('value', '');
			}
		}
});
