 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"
