How can the search boxes disappear? Aren’t they just plain HTML?

They don't render input elements (at least that is my understanding of the code):

The GitHub notes that they only support a reduced set of HTML, but not which set it is. My guess is they do not support any interactivity related elements.

Ah thanks, that explains it! So it makes for quite a useless browser until and if they do.
