Comment:

 The posts, pages, comments, links, categories, tags, links, users,
 plugins, custom post types, and custom taxonomy screens do have labels for
 their respective search boxes. Mostly achieved through re-use of the same
 code. THe HTML looks like this:
 {{{
 <p class="search-box">
         <label class="screen-reader-text" for="post-search-input">Search
 Posts:</label>
         <input type="search" id="post-search-input" name="s" value="" />
         <input type="submit" name="" id="search-submit" class="button"
 value="Search Posts"  /></p>
 }}}

 The theme search does not have a label. I have attached a patch to address
 this.
 Note the patch adds labels for the search type dropdown when it appears
 and the search input box. The label for the search input box is dynamic
 based on the setting of the drop down when the page is drawn.

 A second pass might be to make this label dynamic client side (using
 jQuery) so that it updates when the drop down is changed. I don't know how
 accessible that would be.
