Google search doesn't work on mobile
See original GitHub issueThe search box default says “enter search term and hit enter” but there is not a clear way to “hit enter” on iOS.

I fixed this problem by adding a submit button below the input within the form like so:
<form id="search" onsubmit="google_search(); return false;">
<input type="text" id="google-search" placeholder="{{ site.data.language.enter_search_term }}">
<button class="radius" type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
And by changing the site.data.language.enter_search_term to be “Enter search term and hit submit”, not sure what the German translation would be.
I can submit a PR if you’d like.

I have already changed the search function for the next release. It will be lunr.js – It’s not good for big sites, but most of the forks I found don’t have so many pages, so I guess lunr.js with an option to use google or duckduckgo will be a good choice. You can check out lunr.js already in my other theme https://phlow.github.io/simplicity/search/
Bummer. Sounds like a Safari issue. Does “Return” submit the search now? Browsers are responsible for doing something with the attributes. Here’s more detail: http://devdocs.io/html/element/input
Good luck!
