I too was not able to get this to work:
mobileControlSet “input”, “keyboardType”, “search”
But, I see that "search" is not listed in the docs as an acceptable
keyboardType value. When I tried any of the listed values, it did work.
Thanks for the assist Devin!

FWIW, I couldn't get this to work at all:
mobileControlSet “input”, “keyboardType”, “search”
The only thing that worked for me was mobileSetKeyboardType, with the
caveat that it had to be issued after the native control was created.
And the glitch there is that it doesn't take effect until the keyboard
is re-activated, so you have to make sure that the field isn't focused
until after you set up the native control. That is, if the keyboard pops
up due to auto-focusing when the card opens, the keyboard won't be right
until the next time it appears.
