Ah, seems to be theme related then. It’s fine on default and horizon for me.

Sorry! I could have mentioned that. I assumed it’s clear because this category is for feedback about “Meta Branded”

Is it? TIL. I had no idea; just thought it was general site feedback.

Have you managed a repro yet?

My simple step-by-step:

- On mobile (or mobile\_view), select ‘meta branded’ as the theme from the theme-switcher in the footer of the sidebar
- Use the header search bar to search for ‘test’ and press enter
- View the results in the dropdown

I think it’s also a problem on the Air Theme as well:
