What is meta? ×  I'm not sure this is a feature for others but
for me it's rather annoying, almost a bug. When I visit my own
page (or any other users' page) the search field is populated
with user:160398 in my case.  Now, if you're on any other page
and the search field reads search, it disappears when you click
the field and start typing. Where as if you're on the user page
user:160398 is still there when you start typing.  I know it's a
small thing but it's starting to annoy me. I guess the reason is
to be able to include the search name in the search and only get
hits from that user? But as I'm often on my own page as default,
that user:160398 always gets in the way when I'm doing a search.
Why would I want to search my own questions when I'm at my user
page? I'm just curious as to why it was added in the first
place?  share|improve this question "But as I'm often on my own
