Description Sam 2010-02-01 23:12:15 UTC 
To those at Wikimedia-

This isn't a bug report, but merely a simple suggestion that I believe should be made available as part of the Wikipedia mobile website.

When searching within the Safari browser on an iPhone/iPod Touch device, the search bar at the top lacks a "quick erase" of the previously-searched term. The addition of a "quick-erase" button to the left of the magnifier (search) icon would improve the mobile browsing experience of Wikipedia.

For comparison, the Google mobile website does have the "quick-erase" feature in the form of an "X" button.

Thank you and keep up the excellent work.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/ (the old Ruby code) does indeed use <input type="search">, but the newer MobileFrontend code at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page?useformat=mobile is currently using <input type="text">. So this is an open bug.
