Deprecate and remove: 'results' attribute for <input type=search> (deprecated)

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.
