Paragraphs in search results are not identified as <p> in the markup

[jonels-msft]

Problem

Paragraphs in search results are stored in divs rather than <p>. This withholds information from screenreaders which would help orient users.

Relevant code:

sphinx/sphinx/themes/basic/static/searchtools.js

Line 505 in 275d93b

var rv = $('<div class="context"></div>').text(excerpt);

Error Logs/Results

Expected Results

Use true paragraphs, as described in WCAG 1.3.1
