Comment (by westonruter):

 @gibrown good question on the separate JS file. Given HTTP/2 and “server
 push”, there will (eventually) be zero performance hit to enqueue
 additional scripts. Moreover, there are other small scripts that get
 enqueued with a typical request, e.g. on Twenty Fifteen:

 * `twentyfifteen/js/skip-link-focus-fix.js`
 * `twentyfifteen/js/functions.js`
 * `wp-includes/js/wp-embed.js`
 * `wp-includes/js/comment-reply.js`

 I can also envision that eventually any such `search-form.js` could
 eventually include functionality for autocomplete and other search
 functionality.

 Having a separate file allows it to be linted and QUnit-tested.

 But I'll defer to others' ultimate recommendation on whether this should
 be in a separate JS file.
