Header : Aria-hidden="true" is used incorrectly to the search input field results

Issue Summary

Aria-hidden="true" is used on informative content making it inaccessible to assistive technology.

Element name: heading text

• Repositories.
• Search results.

Additional details:

• when the user types admin in the search edit field, then the search results will appear.
• Then navigate with arrow keys the text "Repositories" is not read by the screen reader.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Navigate to the Search input field in the header section.
2. Keeping the screen reader on, try searching for users or the repository and try to interact with the available results.

Actual Results

In the header section for the search results, the element has aria-hidden="true" attribute. The aria-hidden="true" attribute is used to hide the content from assistive technology users. Although it is a best practice to use the aria-hidden="true" attribute to hide irrelevant content for screen reader users, it can pose issues for screen reader users if it is not used correctly.

Expected Results

Remove the aria-hidden="true" attribute or change it to aria-hidden="false". Ensure the element is accessible to the screen reader user effectively.
