Make search inputs accessible

Search is a primary navigation method—inaccessible search functionality prevents users from finding content efficiently regardless of their abilities.

Quick Reference

• Use type='search' and role='search' on the form
• Provide visible or screen reader accessible label
• Make autocomplete suggestions keyboard navigable
• Announce result counts to screen readers

Check

Verify search inputs use type='search', have accessible labels, and use role='search' on the containing form.

Fix

Implement search with type='search', visible or aria-label, form role='search', and accessible autocomplete suggestions.
