 ### Fixed
 
+- The search box says Search, which fits on a phone, rather than the list's name cut off part way (#417).
 - An item opens from the keyboard and with a screen reader: its title is a button. The feed list's rows and the Directory's shows are links to a screen reader, the open one marked current (#298).
 - An item's Play, Download and Delete buttons show while the keyboard is on one, as they do under the pointer (#299).
 - A screen reader names an item's read button for what it does, Mark read or Mark unread, not "●" (#300).
