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. -- Thor Marius K.H http://nitrolinken.net

I see it's used in quicksearchbox. Is this really useful? I don't like it here.
