Search Field
The search field implements a search box that provides a search-optimized control running in most modern browsers. It allows for the specification of search terms with an optimized user interface.
Note: This control does not perform the actual search for you. It uses the HTML5 'search' input type to inform the mobile device or web browser that you've focused into an input control intended for search term specification.
