Though, my feeling is that such an API might try to support too many UC and at some point one of them will be styling the search field. I think allowing the content to take full control of the search in page might be the best solution for the content and the UA: simple and efficient. It might be a lot of work to re-implement a search UI but libraries could help with that if needed (we will agree that pages that try to imitate the search field are not simple pages usually). -- Mounir
