What can be the cause of this behavior (which policy etc.) and is there a way how to override it without restarting explorer.exe or selecting to show the task icon from the context menu? I mean some simple script etc., something that would work without me clicking it all the time.
I have found a very basic workaround. The same functionality of search icon can be achieved by pinning the search icon found in start menu to the task bar and moving it to the left. It does the same thing and it is independent from applied goup policies, scripts or registry settings. This works with latest creators update.
By default the search-widget takes the color from the design-theme. Changing the design will update the background color of the widget. I have a usecase where the search-icon-background should be white and the magnifier icon black.
Challenge 2: the theme changes only the background of the search-widget-icon. The color of the magnifier is not affectet and stays always white, making it disappear if the background-color is white too...
My reasoning is that both require one click (or touch) to activate and begin searching. Weather a user is clicking the icon to trigger a search or clicking an input box to do the same, the experience is the same. However, an icon takes up considerably less space, and can communicate the same thing.
It all depends on how important is the search and how frequent the users might need the search, If your site is search based like amazon or google search I would expect you to keep the search box which gives the suggestions also.
However, you should have some sort of indicator in the icon that the search is in place to clarify the affect pressing on the icon causes. (Refers to the issue mentioned by @fredley.)
In the Android example, the search icon is most certainly reasonable given space limitations, but an important consideration is that the screen real estate in a mobile app is so severely restricted that even the small search icon is relatively large. That option may be less desirable or workable on a web page expected to mainly be used on desktops or where a small search icon may become overwhelmed by the other items on the page.
Well, having an ICON will help to save some real estate space on a mobile app. It neatly needs to fit along with other Utility icons, which should be ideally not confuse the user. This defines the only way your ICON does not gets messed or stays afloat without a context. I mean it should not be given a space which really makes out of sorts. I compare this to the way a Search BOX is really a object of affordance. So that affordance has to be carefully brought about. It should work against a BOX by all means. But in first place a Search BOX is always the best in any day, but nevertheless if there are real challenges that makes that not possible.
How about using an icon and adding a popover with a search field and a submit button inside? When the user clicks on the search icon it opens the popover. That way the user could still be on the same page and the search field could also be populated with the latest used search term.
Summary: People usually recognize that a magnifying-glass icon indicates a search tool, even when it has no label. Unfortunately, showing only the icon makes search more difficult to find.
With such consistent implementation, people have learned to recognize this icon more quickly. The icon-only pattern became especially popular with the emergence of responsive design (though good responsive sites show a search box with the icon when transitioning to larger screens).
Our recent user-research findings show that the transition to the search icon is not as smooth and without perils as designers may want. Here are some difficulties that people encounter with this new search-icon pattern.
A downside to having only an icon for search means that the user has to wait for a search box to appear, find where to start typing, and sometimes click one more time to focus on the input field. These additional steps prolong the search process, where it would have been much faster to simply click in the text field and start typing immediately.
Icon labels help people make decisions faster: they give good information scent about what will come next. Labels should still be used for newer icons, such as the three-line menu (hamburger) icon. The map-marker icon is another icon with a still cloudy meaning and inconsistent use. Sometimes it means current location, or a different particular location, or locations in general, or nearby places.
Searchbars represent a text field that can be used to search through a collection. They can be displayed inside of a toolbar or the main content. A searchbar should be used instead of an input to search lists.
A clear button is displayed when a searchbar has a value or upon entering input in the searchbar's text field. Clicking on the clear button will erase the text field and the input will remain focused. By default, the clear button is set to show when focusing the searchbar, but it can be set to always show or never show. The icon inside of the clear button can also be customized to any Ionicon.
A cancel button can be enabled which will clear the input and lose the focus upon click. By default, cancel buttons are set to never show, but they can be set to always show or only show when focusing the searchbar. The cancel button is displayed as text in ios mode, and as an icon in md mode. Both the text and icon can be customized using different properties, with the icon accepting any Ionicon.
Searchbars are styled to look native when placed inside of a toolbar. In iOS, searchbars should be placed in their own toolbar, under a toolbar that contains the page title. In Material Design, searchbars are either persistently displayed in their own toolbar, or expand over a toolbar containing the page title.
A debounce can be set on the searchbar in order to delay triggering the ionInput event. This is useful when querying data, as it can be used to wait to make a request instead of requesting the data each time a character is entered in the input.
Searchbar uses scoped encapsulation, which means it will automatically scope its CSS by appending each of the styles with an additional class at runtime. Overriding scoped selectors in CSS requires a higher specificity selector. Targeting the ion-searchbar for customization will not work, therefore we recommend adding a class and customizing it that way.
By default, tapping the input will cause the keyboard to appear with a magnifying glass icon on the submit button. You can optionally set the inputmode property to "search", which will change the icon from a magnifying glass to a carriage return.
By default, tapping the input will cause the keyboard to appear with the text "return" on a gray submit button. You can optionally set the inputmode property to "search", which will change the text from "return" to "go", and change the button color from gray to blue. Alternatively, you can wrap the ion-searchbar in a form element with an action property. This will cause the keyboard to appear with a blue submit button that says "search".
if you want the "book icon" instead of contextual you need to go to contextual search->table configuration and inactivate the incident record there. After that the icon should appear if you still have the attribute "knowledge_search=true".
Thanks for the clarification. Curious if you can have both options available. The book icon appears to be a way to do a manual search, whereas the contextual search is automatic based on the fields that are defined as part of the contextual search.
You can insert icons into Microsoft 365 documents. You can rotate, color, and resize them with no loss of image quality. These icons are free to use and there's no royalty or copyright to worry about.
I want to get rid of the whole grey menu bar at the top of the page, including the search icon to the right of the menu bar. So far, as my background colour is white, I've managed to change the colour of the menu bar (#3) to white also tomato it become invisible, but it hasn't gotten rid of the search icon to the right of the menu bar.
A new icon always requires custom CSS code to fix the size and position. There is no copy/paste solution because the final appearance depends on the theme and the new icon shape. For our example with Font Awesome, the following CSS should fix it:
I think you want a modal to open up for the search box and that you want to move the close (x) icon onto the modal so you can close it. If so then you will need t fix position the icon when the menu is open.
