Wow, that's my biggest pet peeve on Google. I think this started after Instant and drives me NUTS all the time.

  But does it lose data like accidentally hitting backspace does?

    No data is lost... if you're doing it wrong and hit backspace, hit 'page forward' to correct your blatant error.

      On Firefox with Google's main search boxes featuring autocomplete=off; the input gets erased every time.

      That depends entirely on the browser.

      I lose data all the time. Maybe I'm stupid.
