I don’t think this is an expected change and I just noticed it this on Meta past hour in both latest Chrome and Firefox in Windows.

Repro:

1. Do a search with the search menu and go to a result.
2. Try to use it again and the remembered search results show with what looks like a collapsed text field (see the thick blue line at the top of the results drop down).

> ➡ Cannot repro on my own forum running 3.2.0.beta1-dev, **updated 14 hours ago**.

This is in Safari, iOS 16.6 - working as expected
