Ah, I see what you're saying about the search text. It really seems like a bug, to me though. If you send it values from the DB, and then edit the post, it will show you the name when your finished editing it. It's like some kind of event is triggering that subs the value for the name, but that trigger is only happening after you edit the post.

I guess if there's no known work around for now I could digg around with Firebug…
