Actual Results

When any character is entered in the "Search by environment name" input field, content gets updated in the table. This update is not programmatically indicated to the users of a screen reader. That the dynamically updating search results are not announced may confuse or mislead them.

Expected Results

Status messages must be programmatically communicated.

To achieve this, use a polite live region, such as role=“status”, and aria-atomic=”true” to make sure that the entire text node is always announced.

If this is not possible, you can move focus or prompt a page load. In such cases, you do not need to programmatically determine the status message as the change of context, such as focus moving to the added content or a new page being loaded, provides an acceptable clue to the users of assistive technologies.

Alternatively,  provide a hidden instruction, notifying the users about the search results in advance. This instruction can then be associated with the <input> element with the "aria-describedby" attribute.
