Add input type="search" support to data-bind, make it tight

[arturadib]

Tight means the model is updated upon every keystroke. This is particularly useful in the context of instant searches.

var obj = $$({query:''}, '<input type="search" data-bind="query"/>', {
  'change:query': function(){
      ... do search here ...
  }
});

For regular searches, the user will need to capture the enter key, and/or a click on a button.

Is this complete?

Is this complete?

Not sure what you mean by "complete", but we have a working version - try the second demo in this section:

@arturadib Sorry for not being more verbose with my question, I couldn't get this to work for a while, but then I realized that type attr has to be specified, or otherwise it won't work.

Feature request #1: If type isn't present on input element, default to type="text" Feature request #2: Instant data binding should't be bound to only type="search", but accessible on other types too!

So far I enjoy playing with Aility.js, it's much more rewarding that my unsuccessful experiments (due to the complexity and me being stranger to MVCs) with Backbone.js, but issues like this make me think wheter or not backbone provides more flexibility to it's users. I'd like to hear your view on that subject too as I suspect you know both quite well.

@arturadib Should I open new issues for the above two?

[arturadib]

That sounds good Wizek.
