html5 search input does not work with bootstrap

Question

I have tested the input[type=\"search\"] and it does not show the clear (x) icon when the bootstrap styles have been applied.

Answer 1

To have the same user experience across all devices, I ended up writing an Angular directive that I put on Bootstrap 'input-group-btn's.

Angular view HTML

    
    
        
            
        
    
    
        {{vm.models.listSearchResults.length}}
        /
        {{vm.data.list.length}}
    

Angular directive JavaScript

.directive( 'clearSearchByAria', ['$parse', function clearSearchByAria( $parse )
{
    return(
    {
        'restrict':'A',
        'link':function clearSearchByAria_link( scope, jqElem, ngAttr )
        {
            jqElem.on( 'click', function( $event )
            {
                var $clickedElem = angular.element($event.currentTarget);
                var $searchInput;

                // Specified by selector.
                if( !!ngAttr.clearSearchByAria )
                {
                    var $specifiedElem = angular.element(ngAttr.clearSearchByAria)
                    if( $specifiedElem.length == 1 )
                    {$searchInput = $specifiedElem;}
                }
                else
                {
                    var $describedElem = $clickedElem.find( '[aria-describedby]' ).addBack( '[aria-describedby]' );
                    // Specified by 'aria-describedby'.
                    if( $describedElem.length == 1 )
                    {$searchInput = angular.element(''.concat( '#', $describedElem.attr('aria-describedby')));}
                    else
                    {
                        throw( new ReferenceError( "'clear-search-by-aria' attributes requires either 1) to be empty and for the element (or a descendant) to have an 'aria-describedby' attribute referring to another element or 2) to specify an element selector (e.g. '#id') to another element." ));
                    }
                }

                if( !!$searchInput && $searchInput.length == 1 )
                {
                    var ng_model = $searchInput.data( 'ngModel' ) || $searchInput.attr( 'ng-model' );
                    if( !!ng_model )
                    {
                        var modelGetter = $parse( ng_model );
                        modelGetter.assign( scope, '' );
                        scope.$apply();
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        $searchInput.val( '' );
                    }
                }
            });
        },
    });
}])`
