Actual Result

When one or more characters enters into the "Search ( Type ’/’ )" input field with a screen reader, the label and entered value announces each time inappropriately. This is because, the live region attribute aria-live="polite" is defined on the <input> element unnecessarily. As a result, screen reader users have to listen the information unnecessarily.

Expected Result

Make sure that the aria live region properties are used appropriately. In this scenario, we would recommend you to remove the aria-live="polite" attribute from the <input> element.

Code Snippet

Workaround

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