Description

Expected behavior

To have a search bar at the top, similar to what we have in the WP app > My Site > Media, so I can quickly search for the site I want to share the content to. There is an image available in https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordPress-iOS/issues/16420

Actual behavior

If I have a lot of sites, I can only rely on scrolling to find the site I want.

Steps to reproduce the behavior
  1. Open any app (for example, Simplenote, Chrome, or the photo library) with content you'd like to share to your WordPress site
  2. Hit the Share button inside the app
  3. Choose the WordPress app

Research direction

Start by reproducing the share flow from another app and compare its site-selection screen with WP app > My Site > Media, using the linked WordPress-iOS issue as a visual reference. Done means the sharing screen has a search bar that lets users find the intended site without scrolling through the full list.
