  <input name='search' type='search' placeholder="Input type is search" />

    <input name='search' type='search' placeholder="Input type is search" />
  </form>
</body>
</html>

And now the keyboard looks like

Looking in the reference: Text Programming Guide for iOS and I can see that the type search isn't an option, so I think that Safari handle that with a different way. Maybe with a custom inputview. Take a look in my answer to do that.
