Yeah, that's weird. I think if I designed it myself, I would have
made the presence of autosave (instead of results) trigger the
magnifying glass icon, used a sensible default for the number of
items in the search history (maybe 10 or 20), used something like
historylength to override it, and make setting historylength=0
disable the menu (leaving the icon). Something like that. But
that's not how Apple did it, and we should be compatible with them.
Is this control for simple search only or is it designed to be used
in an
advanced search interface? Should it be unique within a form?
Excellent question! I imagine it should be unique within a form.
Whether it's appropriate for an advanced search interface would
depend on the interface; if there's one input that's an obvious
choice for type="search" then go ahead and use it, otherwise it might
be better to stick with type="text".
Hopefully someone more qualified than I can provide a better answer.
