Hi,

I have 3 comments about the accessibility of “Search & Filter” forms:

Missing label & “Screen Reader Text” for search input: The default HTML Search Form from WordPress – for example – looks like this:
<label><span class="screen-reader-text">Search for:</span> <input type="search" class="search-field" placeholder="Search" value="" name="s" title="Search for" /></label>

Missing fieldset for check boxes & radio buttons: A group of check boxes or radio buttons must be enclosed in a fieldset.

Missing label for select field: A select field must have an associated label.

Thank you,

Thanks I’ll take a look at adding this in soon – it doesn’t look to difficult to fix.

Thanks
