It's not valid XHTML, but what it does is done purely for Safari users.

According to some sites, the type="search" turns the input field into the
search box that you see beside the addressbar in Safari, that is, visually.
Another effect is that there's history in it too, but I can't for sure tell
how that works as I am not an avid Safari user.


I'd recommend applying, say, the search icon using CSS and just change it
back to text as that is the more appropriate path to take.
