			Safari has already implemented this feature and provides a distinct form control to differentiate it from ordinary text boxes. Other than rendering differences, it's not entirely clear what additional functionality or usability this feature will provide over an ordinary text box. It would provide a way to semantically identify the search field on the page and it might be possible for UAs to provide additional features, such as a shortcut key to focus the field or remembering search values, although UAs can already do that to some degree with regular text boxes. More research and feedback is required.
