Comment:

 The main problem here is the usage of the 'placeholder' attribute: It
 [http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/common-input-
 element-attributes.html#the-placeholder-attribute should not] be used as a
 replacement for the 'label' element. Nobody will type 'Search' into the
 box. :)

 Screenreader users with IE don’t have access to the 'placeholder'
 attribute, no matter how it is styled.
