Description

Image

Instead of a search button, can we always show the search inputbox, that once clicked, redirects to:
?search=
Its seems it would be easier and more intuitive to spot straight off the bat in a way?
I guess on mobile and other small screen devices, it should be a dedicated button(or stick it on top)

Research direction

Start by locating the current search button and the page's responsive layout. Confirm how search currently redirects to ?search=, then define the desktop and small-screen states; done means the search control is immediately discoverable, redirects correctly, and remains usable on mobile.
