[FIX] web: Many2One: search with input's value

When the user writes something in a Many2One input, after a short
delay, a name_search RPC is done with the value written in the
input, and results are displayed in a dropdown. Then, if the user
clicks on the input, the dropdown closes. If he clicks again, it
should do again a name_search RPC with the value of the input.
Before this rev., it was doing it with the empty string.
