revise home page search box placeholder text #275

Home page: (a) Layout/text: I am not sure why I didn’t notice this before, but the text that says “Select a specific cell line or drug to explore” above the text box strikes me as not right, because you can’t select anything. Perhaps that instead should say “Search for a specific cell line or drug to explore” in the search box with no text above it?

It should be easy to add a couple of links to example searches below the text box. Do you have some ideas of interesting searches? We could either make them links directly to specific drugs or cell lines, or make them populate the text box with a partial search like "MDA-MB" or "tinib". The partial search seems more nifty and informative, but since we only display 3 search hits in the auto-suggest drop-down it might appear we only have e.g. 3 MDA-MB cell lines or 3 TKIs.

Just append "e.g. bt-20 or imatinib" to the placeholder text.
