I would appreciate it if someone can explain how to add an aria-label to the search box in the Swiftype Overlay.

My site is generating an ADA-compliance error without the aria-label.

Any help would be much appreciated!

The Swiftype Overlay doesn’t support the `aria-label` at this time, unfortunately.

Currently, the search embed results containers supporting the `aria-label` are the Dedicated Search Results page, and the “Show in a container on every page”.
