Accessibility Issue: <ibm-search>

See original GitHub issue

Detailed description

Describe in detail the issue you’re having.

If you use two ibm search components on the same page, you get an accessibility violation from IBM’s accessibility plugin about “Multiple elements with “search” role do not have unique labels” and the only fixes are to add the aria-label or aria-labeledby attributes to the elements with the “search” role. Edit: issue also happens if you have one <ibm-search> and one <ibm-table-toolbar-search>

Is this a feature request (new component, new icon), a bug, or a general issue?
