 This input field has no corresponding Search button. I can see that adding
 letters to the field refines the themes shown on the screen. However, when
 using a screen reader there is no audible feedback to tell the screen
 reader user that the display is being updated.

 Provision of a submit button may help with this as users will be more
 likely to expect the results to be changed based on the characters they
 have entered.

 Alternatively (or additionally) a solution using `aria-live` regions could
 be investigated to give screen readers feedback that the search results
 have changed. I notice that the number next to the word Themes updates as
 the search results change. This could be the basis for an `aria-live`
 solution, but more context would need to be provided.
