Looks like WebKit is exposing all plain text fields as search text fields based on some form submission heuristic: "search" substring in form action or submit button label. Even if this logic is localized, it should not do that. Only <input type="search"> should be exposed as a "search text field" (AXSubrole:AXSearchField)
