When a user searches for an app in marketplace, auto-correct is enabled in the input element. As a result, if a user has auto-correct enabled on the phone, then the keyboard will try to auto-correct a user's search term. This often results is correcting an intended search term to something completely unintended, which is extremely annoying. Auto-correction should be turned off by default on the marketplace search bar. I think this is a regression, as I recall this working before.

Can you show me a test case where this actually works on the device? Can you try http://jsbin.com/UdOGIpA/1/ and let me know your findings. We are already disabling it: https://github.com/mozilla/fireplace/blob/master/hearth/templates/header.html#L9 Also see bug 890569 for history. If there's something I'm missing please let me know.
That probably implies this is a device-side regression then. Moving over to keyboards.

Is because autocorrect=off does not work.
