I imagine that they started using the shared "find buffer" for that  
field in Safari. Forgive me if this is old news, but if you select  
something and hit ⌘E, it gets put into a system wide buffer. That  
string then becomes "the thing you're searching for" in all Cocoa  
applications. I've seen it shared between OmniWeb, TextMate,  
Quicksilver, TextEdit, etc. Although it usually only applies to the  
⌘F "search in page", I guess they decided to use it for the web  
search control in Safari as well.

I don't know of a way to suppress the behavior, but you could avoid it  
by using OmniWeb. :)
