Show ‘Search’ button in iPhone/iPad Safari keyboard

having type=”search” is usually all you need to make software Search keyboard appear however in iOS8 it is mandatory to have a wrapping form with action attribute.

So the following code would have a software keyboard with “Return” button

<form>
    <input type="search" />
</form>

But this code should have blue “Search” button instead

<form action=".">
    <input type="search" />
</form>
