Improving the search bar UI.

[divyanash911]

Current Behavior

Currently , on clicking the search bar in the website , a new search box is created which is slightly larger than the original search box and overlaps with the pre-existing one , which does not look very useful or necessary in the UI.

Desired Behavior

I propose keeping the search bar simple. The real search bar can itself be used for search related purposes. There is no need to create a new , abnormally large search box for this purpose.

Screenshots / Mockups

Here , the search box is being used for searching. There is an abnormally large blue bordered input box being created for search purpose.

Implementation

Remove the current functionality of creating a new search box and use the existing default search box to search blocks. If the size doesn't seem sufficient , the increase of the size of the entire left palette can be proposed.

Environment

• Operating System: [e.g., Windows, macOS, Linux]
• Browser (if applicable): [e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari]
• Version of Software/Project: [e.g., v1.0.0]

Additional Information

If felt useful and workable , I am willing to work on this enhancement.

I feel the enlarged search-box looks good. Just needs a UI improvement or maybe it doesn't. @walterbender , is this issue relevant ?

Search is broken at the moment because of the changes in jquery and index.html. That is the priority.

So is there any scope of fixing the search since UI improvement will become a part of that? Any upcoming goals?
