Comment:

 To clarify, the comments above mentioned the "accessible '''description'''
 calculation" which is different from the "accessible '''name'''
 calculation". A description is just a description, it's optional and
 should be provided only to further expand the information provided by the
 name, if necessary.

 `get_search_form()` already provides a label `'Search for:'` so adding
 also a description that uses the same string 'Search for:' is just
 redundant.

 Going to commit, please do feel free to follow #31818 for further
 discussion and improvements.
