Input types discrepancy

Question

In Angular, all input fields have type-search as in web components, only the standard input has it.

@sdimchevski, @simeonoff, If we make angular behave as the web components and only apply this to the standard input field it may introduce a visual breaking change for some users.

Web components also don't have line-type

@simeonoff @desig9stein Using type="search" only for standard input fields adheres to best practices and avoids misusing the semantic intent of input types (e.g., search should logically only apply to search fields). As discussed on the daily today let's mirror what we have in Web Components. I guess we can warn developers in the Angular documentation or release notes that the behavior has changed.

Line input fields are considered outdated in Material Design 3 and have been replaced by filled and outlined text fields but in order not to introduce big visual braking changes we are keeping line type in Angular for now.
