Sidebar button does not have a description useful for screen reader users

Accessibility test errors

It would be nice to have an aria-label attribute that will help screen reader users understand what action will perform the button.
Without an aria-label attribute:

• the sidebar button is identified by the screen readers only as a button element
• impossible to the user to know what action will perform the button, once clicked / selected

aria-label has no effect on browsers. It only helps assistive technology attach a label to an HTML element.

This is definitely a thing to be added. Would be best if you could make some suggestions about the labels 😄

[andrapetronela]

• <button aria-label="Toggle sidebar">
• <input aria-label="Search through site content">

What do you think, @cheng-kang? :)
