Summary

In Blink, 'results' attribute just adds a magnifier icon to an INPUT field. It's a cosmetic feature. In desktop Safari, it controls how many submitted queries are shown in a popup opened by clicking the magnifier icon. This is a WebKit-extension, and it seems no one tried to standardize it.
