If you type a `/` to initial a search, a `/` ends up in the search box and you have to hit backspace to remove it.

This is true on meta.

I’ve noticed this as an issue here on meta, but not on other Discourse sites running 2.2.0.beta7.

Perhaps an ember3 issue then? That’s the only difference I can think of…though we’ve started rolling out ember3 to our other hosted sites. cc @j.jaffeux

Yes it’s ember3 I think, no repro on master.
