Legacy Search Bar

Since Windows 10, version 1909, the legacy search box, which was based on DirectUI, was replaced by one that uses EdgeHTML. As well, when enabling the DirectUI one, a bug occurs where the placeholder text disappars initially and on a resize. This mod re-enables the DirectUI search box and fixes the bug with the placeholder.

This mod requires Windhawk v1.4 or greater.
