However its currently not clear that the field also functions as a
search
field... can you simplify this somehow?


My thoughts on this:
It's not necessary to call out search as an action. Why? Because the
user is not explicitly searching; they are just suggesting. The search
is a background system function, invoked as a way to help interpret the
input. 

A suggestion: If a close match to the user input is found, the system
response can be something to the effect of, "Thanks for your suggestion.
You told us 'ABC'. Others have said 'abc'. Select one of the following
to submit your input: 
[Radio button] 'abc' is essentially the same as my suggestion
[Radio button] I'm suggesting "ABC" as a new alternative
[Push buttons] Submit; Back or Cancel (depending on the interaction
model)

Pardon the coarse wording; could definitely use some cleanup. Other
thoughts?
