## Description

WordPress [search form](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_search_form/)
associates [label with search field implicitly](https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/forms/labels/#associating-labels-implicitly).
This can cause issues with certain assistive technologies.

This plugin fixes the issue by [associating the label explicitly](https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/forms/labels/#associating-labels-explicitly),
thus effectively improving WordPress search form accessibility.

There are no options for the plugin, it works out of the box.
