Rationale

Autocomplete widgets can be helpful for accessibility because they can make it easier to enter text by providing suggestions based on the characters initially typed. This particularly helps people who find typing more difficult and people who may be susceptible to spelling mistakes.

Recommendations

Use an aria-live region to announce when autocomplete options are available, and to create a listbox containing the options that appear as the user types, which is controlled with the up and down arrow keys.
