**User Exprience:**
Screen reader users do not know whether their search returned results, how many results were found, or whether the search is still loading. They are left in the dark after submitting a query.

Note: User credentials should NOT be included in the bug.

**Actual Result:**
Screen Reader does not announce the appeared "0 models found/3 models found" when valid/invalid entry is given on the search field under 'Models' page.

**Expected Result:**
Screen Reader should announce the appeared "0 models found/3 models found" when valid/invalid entry is given on the search field under 'Models' page.

**How to Fix:**
Place the results count text inside a role="status" live region so it is announced when the content updates. Example:

.

### To reproduce

1. Open the URL "https://www.foundrylocal.ai/" and login with valid credentials.
2. Foundry local homepage opens. Navigate to 'Models' control from header section.
3. Navigate to Search field and try giving valid/Invalid entries.
4. Verify whether screen reader announces the copied success message or not.
