Screen readers not informed about filter results in the Search table


Issue Title: Screen readers not informed about filter results in the Search table

Expected Behavior: When users input information in the “Search in table” field, the screen reader should announce the filtered results, e.g., “2 results found” to inform users about the changes.

Actual Behavior: Upon entering information in the “Search in table” field and the table being filtered, users are not informed about the filter results.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Navigate to the Tables product with a screen reader enabled.
  2. Input information in the “Search in table” edit field.
  3. Observe that the table is filtered, but the screen reader does not announce the number of filtered results.

Additional Information:

  • WCAG Guideline: 3.2.2 - Level A
  • Component: Keyboard
  • Issue Type: Type 1

Suggested Fix: When a user inputs information that results in a substantial change to the page, the user should be informed about the change ahead of time. In this scenario, the filtered result should be announced to screen reader users.
