 * Hello –
 * I work on a development team for the State of Missouri. We are required to comply
   with Section 508 accessibility. When using the search module, it generates web
   accessibility errors (missing label for onsearch box, missing text for search
   button)
 * The search input needs an id set and a hidden search label added.
 * The search button needs hidden search text applied
 * Visit the report here: [https://wave.webaim.org/report#/https://at.mo.gov](https://wave.webaim.org/report#/https://at.mo.gov)(
   look under errors)
 * The hidden css class needs these properties
 * .sr-only {
    1. position: absolute;
    2. width: 1px;
    3. height: 1px;
    4. margin: -1px;
    5. padding: 0;
    6. overflow: hidden;
    7. clip: rect(0, 0, 0, 0);
    8. border: 0;
 * We are using Colibri version Version 1.0.276
 * Or is there a workaround you can share?
 * Thank you so much for your time, Lainie
