I know why this is Mac-only.  It's because Mac never implemented the tab-to-search UI in the dropdown.  There's a bug on this.

Basically, the placeholder result exists, it's just off to the side where you can't see it, because Mac never animates it in.

Oh, that's a bit more problematic.  I thought the bug you merged this into was merely about animation stuff, i.e., smoothness, not the actual result of what is statically displayed.  Perhaps you want to clarify the other bug?
