labels on search buttons -- Drupal.org and Beyond

Greetings, WebAIM:

I was looking at this Drupal issue, filed against the Drupal.org site:

<https://drupal.org/node/2083561>https://drupal.org/node/2083561


And I wondered if any of you had input/might want to comment on it.

I was trying to do some research to confirm whether the search button
needs a label, and this WebAIM article made me think it might not,
i.e. via the heading 2 called Buttons:
http://webaim.org/techniques/forms/controls

Can anyone let me know and/or comment on the ticket?
Part of what's confusing me is that when I look at a range of
accessibility-related sites, some do have the label, while others don't.

Thanks.

Best,
Jennifer
