/**
 * Clear the help text in a search field (either in the value or title attribute)
 * when focused, and restore it on blur if nothing was entered. If the value is
 * blank but there is a title attribute, the title will be moved to the initial value.
 *
 * @example $('#quicksearch').searchField();
 * @before <input id="quicksearch" title="Enter search here" name="quicksearch" />
 * @result <input id="quicksearch" value="Enter search here" name="quicksearch" />
 *
 * @name searchField
 * @type jQuery
