[JAWS] Search results read "results found" instead of something useful #14153

Open

Description

Windows Terminal version

1.16.2642

Windows build number

No response

Other Software

JAWS (though this probably repros with any screen reader)

Steps to reproduce

  1. generate text (i.e. ls)
  2. open search dialog (ctrl+shift+f)
  3. search for something (i.e. text) NOTE: make sure there are results!

Expected Behavior

the line of text should be read (i.e. this is example text where "text" is selected)

This gives context to the user

Actual Behavior

reads "results available"

Most likely caused by #12301

Other feedback

  • "no results found" is good!
  • "findMatch" should work the exact same way
  • when we loop around the buffer, we should say "back to top/bottom"

    Throwing this in next milestone. I don't think we'll have time to fix this for this coming release, but this is a decent dissatisfaction for screen reader users (I mean, find is basically useless tbh).

    Feel free to change if you disagree.

    I'm tossing this back to the backlog. Though, now we could actually announce how many results there were, so that's cool
