When you tab into a search field in an app the screen reader speaks "Text field with autocompletion" but doesn't tell that this is a search field. It doesn't know the function of the field.

Investigate how we can pass the name or role of the field in an ARIA attribute. Investigate what is the ARIA best practice for search fields. Investigate why the screen reader cannot access and speak the placeholder text "Search" that we already have in the search field.
