Summary webkit-search-cancel-button not keyboard accessible

Created attachment 406735 [details] screenshot of webkit pseudo element in search to clear input value. The -webkit-search-cancel-button appears for sighted users, but it is unavailable for screen reader users and sighted, keyboard-only users. This presents a default in the browser which fails WCAG 2.1.1 Keyboard (Level A). See: https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/keyboard.html and the Sufficient Technique G202 https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Techniques/general/G202 and Failure F54 https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Techniques/failures/F54. Developers who want to comply with WCAG need to override this webkit default, which is problematic, as defaults may be incorrectly assumed to be accessible. Recommendation: Remove the pseudo element from search controls OR make the element fully accessible.
