Quick follow-up: search works fine when forcing IE11 into compatibility mode.

Two questions:

- Does this happen on all search form examples or just this one?
- does it work when adding an IE directive to force IE10 compatibility mode?

It occurs in the two search form examples I've tried, as well as with an 
application I'm developing for use within my office.

Good suggestion on forcing compatibility.  I added the following line to my app 
and the search form now works under IE11:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE10" >

Thanks so much.

This is possibly a similiar issue as 378. See description of issue 378 and 
potential solution there.
