Description
### Your use case
#### What would you like to do?
I would love to be able to get rid of this:
#### Why would you like to do it?
Clicking it reveals yet another search box, but this time it's in the center of the window in a modal pop-under. It makes absolutely no sense why it would be a huge UI element on top of your list like that.
Recovering some much-needed vertical screen estate would be nice as it's all space that could be displaying more of my list instead of non-functional clutter that I'm surprised has lingered this long in the client. Would make Element Desktop look so much cleaner and appealing!
#### How would you like to achieve it?
Put the magnifying glass icon and nothing else but that next to the `+` atop the list view.
### Have you considered any alternatives?
Element Desktop is king for Matrix protocol as far as I'm concerned.
### Additional context
Love Element Desktop. Keep up the great work! :- )
