User Experience Improvement for the Search Bar Placement in the New Interface

[farhanshakir]

This discussion focuses on improving the user experience related to the placement of the search bar in the new interface compared to the previous version. While acknowledging that the old version’s search bar was better positioned at the top of the list, it is important to highlight that both versions have room for improvement. The proposed suggestion is to prioritize a larger, prominently displayed search bar at the top of the page with maximum width, considering that users often have multiple projects and rely on the search function for quick file retrieval and easy access. This adjustment aims to enhance user convenience and streamline the search experience across the interface.

I agree with this. Same here:

Wider & center-aligned search bar

Hi Figma team, could you please consider making the search bar wider and center-aligned? The new search bar is too small and placed on the left sidebar making it hard to quickly search something when using monitors. Our designers come from many product teams and projects, so we need to look for several design files per day. Any updates on the search bar can make a huge impact on our team productivity. Please take this idea in consideration! Thank you!
