Thanks, I voted for the issues.  I'm also looking into replacing the search with a custom search using search.gov instead of confluence's livesearch macro. We'll lose internal searching, but you can add the label for 508 compliance and can also get search analytics.

Jeremy,

Thank you so much for taking the time to verify that with me. We have the threads below to track Confluence section 508 compliance implementation, which would include your request:

* CONFSERVER-12383 Section 508 Compliance for Confluence (VPAT) (Server)
* CONFCLOUD-12383 (Cloud version)

Specifically, this:

* CONFSERVER-54041 Section 508 - Missing Form Labels

Although each request is broken down into a separate request, the best one to vote on and watch is the primary section 508 request.

Thank you again for your time and best of luck with quitting!

Regards,

Shannon

I'm not talking about creating a form.  When the LiveSearch marco is used, either in a page or with a tool like Adaptavist Theme Builder, it creates html code, which users view in their browser.  If the html code is viewed directly (I pasted it in question), one can see that it's a "form" since a user would fill in the form (a search term) and then click submit to submit the form.  What I'm saying is that Atlassian needs to add a Form Label to the Form which confluence creates via Livesearch.  This has nothing to do with Atlassian Labels or restricting a search to a label.  I understand how that could be confused with form labels.  Sorry if I sounded irritated.  I recently quit nicotine and am too easily irritable sometimes! I'm working on it.  Thank you Shannon.
