search

Landmark role

A landmark identifying a section that contains search functionality for the site or page. It lets screen-reader users jump straight to the search form. Apply it to the container (or use `<search>`), not to the individual input, which stays a searchbox or textbox.

role="search"

Used on

A section containing search functionality. Prefer <search>.

Accessible name

Recommended, via aria-label if there is more than one.

Example

role="search"

<search>
  <input type="search" aria-label="Search" />
</search>
