the first thing i do in a new install is make sure gloda is turned off.
however, this makes the search box unavailable, thus removing web
content searching functionality. is it possibly conceivable this is an
intentional design?

One feature should not depend on another IMO
You can still highlight a phrase and right context click though.

it's an intentional (poor) design. it's actually worse than merely
poor, since the searchbox autocomplete will display gloda options only
if it's enabled anyway, thus cutting off web search for no reason
whatsoever.

the simplest fix is:

#searchInput[collapsed] {
visibility: visible;
}

gloda disablers are probably also wondering what is that big invisible
flex space...
