why don't I see the query parameter when I hit enter in the search bar?

I was trying to implement a search bar in my web application:

<form method="get" action="NewServlet">
    <input type="search" />
</form>

When I type something in this search bar and hit enter, then the URL changes from 

http://localhost:8084/App-1/tester.jsp

to 

http://localhost:8084/App-1/NewServlet?

Why don't I see the search query parameter in the URL?

You have to name your field:

<input type="search" name="query"/>

This will call:

http://localhost:8084/App-1/NewServlet?query=...
