Fixed in git, commit 69dd0c40, by giving the "Replace with" prompt its own, specific help text.

To see what I mean, run 'src/nano --ignore' and type:
M-R aa <Enter> ^G

The shown help text begins like this:

Enter the words or characters you would like to search for,
and then press Enter.  If there is a match [...]

The user typed the search string at the previous prompt.  At this prompt, the user is expeted to type the replacement string.  The help text should say so.
