Great! It looks like you disabled it for mobile in your sandbox?

The plugin doesn’t support mobile yet 🙂 It should only affect search on desktop.

It looks like you’re pointing to the border around the `input`. That’s standard Discourse css.
Add this to your custom css to override it for this specific input:
```plaintext
.search-header #search-term {
border: 1px solid #your_color
}
```

A little fix even for the [Pavilion Header Search Theme Component](https://meta.discourse.org/t/header-search-theme/67959) , please master 😉.

if the word(ing) for “extended” is longer in the localization (here: de:“Erweiterte Suche”), the layout is messed up by overtypging.
(And the bar would have enough space to expand a little)

mm ok. I’ve put that link outside the search input. Let’s see how that goes.

The old search icon shows up, and when clicked disappears while still opening the search bar:
It appears when I enter the home pages, or leave or enter a topic.

Can describe, or give an example for, the specific issue you’re seeing?
As described by @nawthor , the issue seems to be fixed.

@angus
This plugin appears to be causing issues with rendering in IE 11.
On IE 11 my site stopped loading and displayed a white display only. I then went through and unistalled/installed each plugin until I got to this one.
This plugin seems to stop Discourse from loading in IE 11. I am running IE 11.0.9600.18837
Additionally I was able to replicate this on: [https://discourse.angusmcleod.com.au/](https://discourse.angusmcleod.com.au/)
Edit: This only shows in IE, can’t replicate in Firefox or Chrome.

I think the text should be highlighted title to see more easily.

Nope, they’re resolved. But I can’t edit the first post anymore. @hawk can you wikify?
