# Search Input

> Search Input is an Agent Skill for design published in the thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist repository on GitHub: a SKILL.md instruction file an AI agent can load to do this task.

Use when reviewing templates, rendered HTML, or shared components related to Make search inputs accessible. Validate the final browser-facing markup, not just the source framework abstraction.

# 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.

## Explain

Explain how accessible search implementations help users find content efficiently regardless of their abilities.

## Code Review

Review templates, server-rendered HTML, and shared components that output markup related to Make search inputs accessible. Flag exact elements, attributes, and routes where the rendered HTML violates the rule.
