Comment (by afercia):

 So, as per the Slack conversation linked above, if the form really needs
 to be closed after a successful search (I have my doubts this would be a
 better UX) then the only place where moving focus back makes sense is the
 toggle button. To give a chance screen readers to announce the
 `wp.a11y.speak()` message after the successful search instead of starting
 to announce the toggle button, the only thing we can do is add the
 parameter `assertive` to the `wp.a11y.speak()` call.
 Not 100% sure this would fully work from an accessibility perspective, it
 would need some testing to make sure it doesn't introduce an accessibility
 regression.
