Issue Summary

Search landmark is missing for search input field.

Steps to Reproduce

1. In the Jira dashboard section, navigate to the Search input field.
2. Keeping the screen reader on, in the Search input field the landmark is not getting rendered for the screen reader users.

Actual Results

When the assistive technology users are navigating through the page with the help of the screen reader, the search landmark is not being rendered for the assistive technology user while navigating through the search input field. This will create difficulty for the assistive technology users in the search functionality.

Expected Results

While navigating through the search input field the search landmark i.e role="search" should be provided in the <form> element, so that the assistive technology users will be able to understand the functionality of the search input field.

Code example:

<form action="/secure/QuickSearch.jspa" method="get" id="quicksearch" class="aui-quicksearch dont-default-focus ajs-dirty-warning-exempt" role="search">
<input id="quickSearchInput" autocomplete="off" class="search" type="text" title="Search ( Type '/' )"        placeholder="Search" name="searchString" accesskey="q">
