Description
Widgets and Themes search would need the same improvements done for the Menu Customizer.
Widgets:
- activating "Add a Widget" with the Space bar doesn't prevent the default action, as a result the search field gets a space character and the placeholder text is gone. See https://github.com/voldemortensen/menu-customizer/issues/107
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"

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.
