Search input ARIA role error
In the header of the site we have the 'search documentation' input. When @molant runs the site through Sonar, we're getting a warning that says "Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children"
I don't have a role assigned to that input but a role is being assigned to it after the fact, and I'm assuming this is through however Algolia is configured.
I believe the role=combobox that is being added to the input is causing the error because this input isn't a combobox, and I believe a role isn't required here but will need to confirm that.
@qzhou1607 I think you researched Algolia, but let me know who I should assign to this if it's not you.
@ststimac I will take a look again at Algolia's documentation again. I'll remove it if role is not needed.
@ststimac @molant It seems that this combobox thing is a false detection in axe-core. See https://github.com/dequelabs/axe-core/issues/160. Unfortunately these accessibility attributes came with Algolia's autocomeplete library and is not configurable. Here is the source code (options contains the data for configuration in Algolia). Any suggestion?
