How to use
Accessible placeholder
Provide accessiblePlaceholder: true and a label to create an accessible placeholder for the input.
<div class="ons-field">
<label class="ons-label ons-label--placeholder " for="search-field">Search this service
</label>
<span class="ons-grid--flex ons-search">
<input type="search" id="search-field" class="ons-input ons-input--text ons-input-type__input ons-search__input ons-input--placeholder" placeholder="Search this service" />

Use appropriately sized inputs
A width constraint class can be used to make the width of input smaller. If the search context is known, for instance a sequence of characters of a known size, the width constraint can help users.
Character check
The character check counter is displayed when the charCheckLimit object is included with params limit, charCountOverLimitSingular, charCountOverLimitPlural, charCountPlural and charCountSingular parameters are defined.
The button is disabled unless the input value matches the value supplied to the charcheck param.
