Description

### Steps to reproduce

Not a defect in the desktop-application but in the docs. The [documentation on the Element.io webpage](https://element.io/help#chat7) states:

> To search a room from Desktop, click on the magnifying glass located near the top of the screen.

This icon no longer exists (unsure since when):

Currently once has to either click on the room name or on the room-info icon to open the sidebar and the search-field at its top (with the German equivalent of "Search messages..."):

### Outcome

#### What did you expect?

Either the search icon as stated in the documentation or an updated docs that matches the current element-desktop behaviour.

Couldn't find search and was wondering if the functionality is broken / removed / disabled in configuration...
