    Hi, this refers to the upper search bar you see on this site. The one that sits below it is the default search.

    My issue is that I am working with a web accessibility company on this site.
    They are basically telling me where I am lacking 🙂

    The site search has come up. I have been asked to alter the aria-label attached to it. From Search input to Sitewide Search. I’m not sure where this even comes from. Do you know of a way I can change the label through the plug in itslef
    ?

    <input aria-label=”Search input” type=”search” class=”orig” name=”phrase” placeholder=”Sitewide Search” value=”” autocomplete=”off”>

    Any help would be really appreciated.

    Thanks Amy

    Hi,

    The label on this element is statically printed to indicate the search input. I’m afraid changing that is only possible via editing the core plugin files.

    You can find that input on line 37 in file: wp-content/plugins/ajax-search-lite/includes/views/asl.shortcode.probox.php

    Althogh you may have to do that after every update, because the change might revert. We will add a hook for the shortcode output in a future release, that may help with a permanent solution.

    Best,
    Ernest M.
