Using jquery event on close button in search box

Question

The question is whether I can call a function on event of clicking close button in search box. What I'm using is <input type='search'>

While typing, close button appears clicking on which I want to call a particular function. Is it possible? I tried to Google it but couldn't get much out of it. Can anyone help?

});
