Description

Widgets and Themes search would need the same improvements done for the Menu Customizer.

Widgets:

Both:

  • the search results (or no results) should be announced to assistive technologies, possible use case for wp.a11y.speak see #32720
  • a short description of the "live" search functionality could help, see the Menu items search in core, i.e.: aria-describedby="menu-items-search-desc"

  • Owner set to valendesigns
  • Status changed from new to assigned

There really should be more parity in the Customizer, whether that be functionality or accessibility it should all work relatively the same. I'll take this one on in 4.4.

The first widgets part was fixed in [35304]. Still to do: the search for both Widgets and Themes.

  • Keywords needs-patch 4.4-early removed

For history: the parts mentioned here as still to address (the search for both Widgets and Themes) were actually fixed in [38709] for the Widgets and in [41648] for the Themes, with the introduction of the new "Themes browser".

  • Keywords reporter-feedback added
  • Owner valendesigns deleted

@afercia what is left to do here? From 8 it sounds like these items are fixed now and this ticket can be retroactively closed as fixed in 4.9 (the themes panel redesign).

Noting that customizer widgets are being replaced with blocks in 5.8, so that piece should be addressed with the upcoming version if it wasn't already fixed.

  • Milestone changed from Future Release to 4.9
  • Resolution set to fixed
  • Status changed from assigned to closed

I've confirmed that everything cited in the original ticket is now fixed, and this can be closed. If there are any additional issues, they should be raised in a new ticket.

Closing this as fixed in 4.9, as suggested by @celloexpressions.
