Not necessarily just for screenreader accessibility. If the input itself is 
large enough, there's no problem for users with motor problems. And arguably, 
having a button immediately adjacent to the text input that says "Search" (and, 
I'm assuming, having it in a logical common place used by most other sites, 
like top-right) is enough visual labelling, so omitting a visible label for 
that text input shouldn't really cause accessibility issues for other 
audiences...
