+### Announcing search result count
+
+A common a11y requirement is to announce the number of matches when the user filters the list (e.g. _"5 results available"_, _"No results found"_).
+
+The framework's `InvisibleMessage.announce(...)` cannot be used here: its live region (`<ui5-announcement-area>`) is appended to `document.body`, outside the dialog. When the dialog is open, some screen readers do not announce updates from live regions rendered outside it, so the message is silently dropped. See [UI5/webcomponents#13613](https://github.com/UI5/webcomponents/issues/13613) for details.
+
+The workaround is to render your own `aria-live="polite"` region **inside** the dialog's DOM via `createPortal`, and write the message into it from your search handler.
