Comment (by TechDagan):

 I think it's important to keep screen readers in mind here. Having a form
 field not properly linked to a label element is a violation of WCAG 2
 guidelines. The obvious solution is for compliant sites to have only one
 search form, but I think iterating additional input ids is the better
 route.
