Hi Joanie,

The text looks good, but I have misgivings about the example, repeated here:
<span id="label">Search orders:</span>
<div role="searchbox" aria-labelledby="label" aria-placeholder="Title,
Department, Recipient...">Title, Department, Recipient...</div>
The aria-placeholder text is identical to the pre-filled value of the
searchbox. Yet, the preceding note warns about users confusing
placeholder text with a pre-filled value.
The placeholder text should be something different, but I'm not sure
what to use in this particular example. I don't really understand what
it is trying to convey to users.
Another possibility is to replace it with a completely different example:
<span id="label">Birthday:</span>
<div role="searchbox" aria-labelledby="label"
aria-placeholder="MM-DD-YYYY">03-14-1879</div>
