Often when I hit the search bar if there is already a text, it expands visually, however, the search cursor is at the beginning of the bar and is not moving. On double-click it does not select the whole phrase, I have to use Delete to individually delete all the search text - Backspace is not working obviously. After this is done, I can search again with an empty search bar.

It would be desirable to

  • get rid of the visual UI of search bar expansion - steals half a second from searching every single time
  • be able to quickly select the whole search and delete everything in the search bar
  • fix the bug of a not moving cursor at the beginning of the search bar
