-The search input is not fully stylable by default. In Chrome and Safari on
-OSX/iOS you can't control `font`, `padding`, `border`, or `background`. In
-Chrome and Safari on Windows you can't control `border` properly. It will apply
-`border-width` but will only show a border color (which cannot be controlled)

-showing past searches).
