Describe the bug
According to WCAG 2 Success Criterion: 3.2.2 On Input (A), users should be warned before a change of context occurs on a site. As an example, when searching (https://sandbox.dspace.org/search?query=), use of the slider functionality in the Date filter reloads the page without giving the user a warning of that change or giving them the option to activate the reload themselves. See https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/on-input.html for reference.
This behavior is consistent across all search filters.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Expected behavior
Either warn the user of the change of context (reload) beforehand, or give the user to activate the change themselves by providing a button or similar functionality
