Christian Schaefer “TIL about input[type="search"]'s "search" event and the related, non-standard incremental-attribute: 🤯” (link)

The Boolean attribute incremental is a WebKit and Blink extension (so supported by Safari, Opera, Chrome, etc.) which, if present, tells the user agent to process the input as a live search.

This allows your code to update the search results in real time as the user edits the search.
