### A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.
`X` should either:
- indicate it's not an interactable element
- take the user back to the last page in the browser history stack

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start at the Customberg entry point in /wp-admin/admin.php?page=jetpack-search-configure and reproduce the Instant Search overlay behavior in Chrome/Chromium. Inspect the X adjacent to the search box and clarify whether the intended outcome is a non-interactable control or navigation to the previous browser-history page; done means the selected behavior is implemented and the outline-only action no longer occurs.
