Actual Results

On typing data in “Repository Search” input field, the repository suggestions get filtered dynamically below the input field and no update is announced by screen reader software. however this information is easily understandable for sighted users, the same is not intuitive for screen reader users. This might confuse or mislead them.

Expected Results

Screen reader users should be notified when the emoji suggestions get updated along with the count of suggestions.

For eg: “Found 1 match”. Live regions can be used to achieve this behaviour.
If this is not feasible, a hidden instruction should be announced (when the search input receives focus), notifying the users of the dynamic change, This instruction can then be associated with the <input> element with "aria-describedby" attribute.

For eg: "Typing letters in the search input updates the search results below.”

Workaround

Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available.
