Bug Report: umn_search module uses layout tables
Casey Sass
We noticed in Pope Tech that some of our Drupal sites have 'Layout table' accessibility alerts that look like they're in the search block provided by the umn_search module. I see that they do have the role="presentation" so maybe this isn't so much of a bug, but it would be great if the layout tables could be replaced with something else.

Casey Sass Thank you for your feedback. We’re aware of this issue and have been monitoring it for the past few years. Unfortunately, Google still uses tables for layout purposes in their search product, and since we’re using it as provided, we don’t have control over that aspect. If Google doesn’t release an update to address this, we’ll consider customizing the widget in the future.
Thanks again for bringing it up!
