Yup, we were getting several reports that kids accidentally pressed
keys while at the Home screen (which auto-focuses the search field.)..
 This was taking them to an empty list view with no matches, which
made them think it was broken.  We've disabled it in the favorites
view until we can a) add a proper "no matching activities" message in
the list, and we can actually do a search in favorites itself without
resorting to the view switch, which was kind of a hack.
