Public bug reported:

For people using screen readers, having a label for every form input is essential as they have no other (easy) way of knowing what the input is for. Currently the site search box does not have an associated label.
A hidden label should be added which contains the search box placeholder text (either "Search users" or "Search" depending on which plugin is used)
