@v-rpundir we were concerned that localizing messages for '2 Suggestion available' might be more complicated than just formatting a message with the number of results. I can whip something up for 'one suggestion available' vs '{numResults} suggestions available', but I don't know if that'll localize super well.
In any case, do you think we could close out this A11ySev2 bug and open a new A11yUsable bug tracking adding a number to the message?

@v-rpundir, due to a lack of localization support for the different plural word forms in different languages (Russian has 4, Arabic has 7) across the entire Windows platform, no other applications on the platform announce the numbers of search results available. Can you re-evaluate this request?
We would like to do it, for sure, but this seems like it is a new Sev3 request.
Update the cmdpal narrator message to include the number of results. (#…

@v-rpundir Sorry to be a bother: the existence of suggestions is currently announced in conformity with other Windows products. This bug is resolved as well as we can, but it is still impacting our accessibility score negatively. I'm requesting that this out-of-SLA Sev2 be closed as fixed and replaced with a new Sev3 to track announcing the number of suggestions.
