Summary: search-suggestions not discoverable by screen reader
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.17-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: Normal
Component: Vector Skin
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
The suggestions shown under the search field are not accessible via the screen
reader. It's not announced, and it does not get read. Ideally, when a term is
entered, the screen reader should announce that a list of suggestions is
available, and give the user some hint as to how to navigate there (down-arrow
works, tab closes the suggestion box and moves the focus away from the search
field).
This report results from feedback from the German Central Library for the Blind
(DZB). Please see

for some background.
