Comment:

 @TylerTork Thanks for the report!

 The accessibility checker indicates that there is no label for that search
 input. The standard core search widget markup does include a `label` tag
 with text in it.
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/5.6/src/wp-includes/general-
 template.php#L319 See general-template.php]

 Unfortunately, the Graphene theme overrides the standard form markup in
 its searchform.php template file and does not supply a label.
 [https://wave.webaim.org/ The WAVE evaluation tool] also flags missing
 button text for the submit button.

 You could report these accessibility errors in
 [https://wordpress.org/support/theme/graphene/ the theme's support forum].
 Because this is not a core bug, I'll close the ticket here.
