What changed in the port

Which parts became utilities, which stayed CSS, and why.

  • The clear button grew from 22px to size-11 (44px) with a transparent background — same visual weight, a tap target that passes WCAG 2.5.5.
  • :has(input[value=&quot;&quot;]) is dropped: it never worked, because the attribute does not track what the user typed. :placeholder-shown does.
  • The ::-webkit-search-cancel-button reset stays a bracket selector — Tailwind has no variant for it and should not invent one.

How this works

Empty is a state the form can read. The whole toggle is one variant pair on the button, with no script and no class swapping:

class="transition-opacity
  group-has-[input:placeholder-shown]:pointer-events-none
  group-has-[input:placeholder-shown]:opacity-0"

Reset needs its own form. type="reset" clears every field in the enclosing form, which is exactly right when the search field is the form — as here — and exactly wrong when it is one field among many.

Make it yours

  • Icons: both SVGs are stroke=&quot;currentColor&quot;, so they inherit from the utilities around them.
  • Shape: rounded-full on the shell. rounded-xl gives a boxier search bar.
  • Halo: focus-within:ring-3 focus-within:ring-tif08-acc/18.
  • Reveal: duration-150 on the clear button's opacity transition.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • The placeholder must be non-empty or :placeholder-shown never flips and the button never appears.
  • type=&quot;reset&quot; resets the whole form — wrap the field in its own <form>, as here, or use a click handler.
  • A hidden-but-focusable button is a focus-order bug: pointer-events-none plus opacity-0 is the minimum, and hidden would be better if you can accept no transition.

:has() is Baseline as of Firefox 121; without it the clear button is always visible and still works.
