What’s special about ‘search’ input?

Question

Could we just use a normal input ‘text’ in place of search input_
search doesn’t actually search or anything like that without JS, same thing for a normal input.
It needs some JS, or some other language for it to actually work, or search.

So, why search input?

Answer 1

Summary:
Basically there is no difference from our side.

But browsers can have special appearance for your input type search, like they have for number and email (a special keyboard for them) .
