Message:

Accessibility: remove the title attribute from the get_search_form() HTML5 search field.

It was added in [23801] as a workaround for issues with very old browser/screen reader combos (Jaws7/IE6).
No more necessary today. Reduces redundancy and noise for screen reader users.

See #16539.
Fixes #33952.
