proposed patch

When an Orca user moves focus to the searchbar's entry, Orca only presents the widget as "text." Ideally, it would present "Search text" so the user knows the purpose of the entry. This requires the entry to have an accessible name.

looks reasonable to me; we may want to do this out-of-the-box for GtkSearchEntry.
