See all results inaccessible & Tab selects the search option instead of going to next option

[WayneFerrao]

Description

The search bar has accessibility issues that impact users who rely on keyboard navigation or assistive technologies.

Steps to Reproduce

Open the website and navigate to the search bar using the Tab key.
Type a query in the search bar.
Attempt to navigate through the search results using Tab or arrow keys.

Observed Behavior

Pressing the Tab key selects an option in the search results instead of moving focus to the next result.
The "See all results" button is not accessible using either Tab or arrow navigation.

Expected Behavior

Pressing the Tab key should move focus to the next result or actionable element (e.g., the "See all results" button) instead of selecting the current option. The "See all results" button should be reachable via keyboard navigation.

The behavior is controlled by a library autocomplete.js, and we forked it because of an issue they decide to only fix in a major version a half year later.

It seems they fix the accessible issue as well in their new version. We could switch back, but needs a lot of work.
