Description
A landmark region that contains a collection of items and objects that, as a whole, combine to create a search facility. See related form and searchbox.
A search region may be a mix of host language form controls, scripted controls, and hyperlinks.
User agents SHOULD treat elements with the role of search as navigational landmarks.
