Every keystroke in my search box fires a fresh announcement before the last one finishes.
What you'll have at the end
A hidden status region that announces the settled result count and search term in one full sentence, once per search, never once per keystroke, even on a repeated search.
You need
A search input already filtering an in-memory list of results as the user types, with a status element wired to announce the count on every keystroke instead of once the search settles.
Not covered
This does not cover building the search input's own filtering logic, a real backend query, or announcing results that load through pagination or infinite scroll, which needs its own message shape.
Leans on
Debounce a search input to stop firing one request per keystroke
if the search box itself still filters or fetches on every keystroke; debounce that first, since this recipe only debounces what gets announced about the results.
