The Search Magnifying Glass Is Nearly Invisible

I have been using Canny for months and never noticed the search magnifying glass and always assumed the Title Field of the Create a Post widget was the only way to search.
Then I had someone tell me it was there and now I can see it…
Anyway, it would be great if this was more prominent and visible. Right now on the Canny I am part of people don't search enough before making a new post or request, and I bet this is part of it.

The search bar "prominence" on the embedded widget is still nearly invisible, any status on bringing the change over there as well?

Here's what we're thinking. Thoughts?

Sarah Hum: Thanks for responding to us. You really need to call out it with a green outline and animate it. Having it blend into the background in the page makes it hard to spot on a glance. Lot of VRChat users miss it because it's muted. It's the one thing in the service you want to do the most. Thanks

The create a post box has a grey border. Maybe grey border the search bar at the top of the list?

Sarah Hum: Agree wiit Hilarious Crab after a while, you almost want people to search by default before even thinking about creating a post. I would personally like to see 'search' on top of create a post.

Hilarious Crab Teal Seahorse: Thank you both for your feedback. From a design perspective, we chose to maintain the hierarchy in the image I attached above. Making it green/animate would be quite distracting. I'll monitor this post in case this continues to be a problem so let us know!
Note that, just like before, when users start creating a post, we'll suggest similar posts to avoid duplicates.

Sarah Hum: I think is this much better!

Hey guys, thanks for the feedback here. We'll see what we can do!

I agree. The core reason to use canny is to organize community feedback. To allow users to vote or comment on entries. Without knowing how to search existing entries that somewhat breaks the system.
