Description

Hey,

I was trying to use the new HTML <search> element in VSCode and noticed that it's being highlighted in red. I believe I've tracked down the definition of HTML elements to this repo.

This tag is now supported across all browsers in the MDN compat data: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/search. Can this repo be updated with the latest supported HTML elements, including <search>?

I would open a PR myself, but I don't understand how to properly do the job. If I'm in the wrong place please also let me know

Research direction

Start in the vscode-custom-data repository and compare its HTML-element definition with the linked MDN compatibility page. The issue names no file, test, or entry point, so locate the existing element list first. Done means the list includes

and VS Code no longer highlights it as invalid.
