We could add the following, but it would need to be tested on the iPhone.

$("#searchField").click(function() {

$(this).focus()
$(this).select()

})

Quick question since you marked this as "easy" - could you point to the file(s) the newbie would need to fix? Basically all the stylesheets in the extensions/MobileFrontend/stylesheets/ directory?

This needs to be implemented in application.js, however it can't (or shouldn't, really) use jQuery, but instead use native JavaScript.

Unfortunately, they were not able to add the keywords. I assume this was a limitation of the user permissions for newly created accounts?

Yes, argh. I've added the ability to edit keywords to Akshay's and Ashwini's Bugzilla accounts and will have to consider whether we should modify this lockdown to balance between between security and access/usability.

akshay chugh and ashwini - thanks for your patches! I've applied them in r112103

I've seen evidence of a user use her microphone to enter text into the search box. Then when she clicks on the search box to correct the mistake in the first word the entire text highlights. She then proceeds by clearing the entire text and typing from scratch. This evidence suggests we shouldn't highlight the search result.
