Where’s the search field?

[tie1attempt]

Starting with the basics, where is the search field for these forums?

I would like to do a search for anything slider, changing the tabs, or creating custom tabs.

Found it. That was really hidden.

I thought it was pretty obvious being a magnifying glass icon, a.k.a, a common icon for search.

Depends on which generation you are from.

If the search icon was any bigger it would be visible from space.

Ha Andy! I think it was its the placement. My page was scrolled down so the grey tabs were at the top of my screen. Never saw the magnifying glass as it was not on the screen. Looked to the right, looked to the left, scrolled down, no search. Only when I scrolled up, and looked way up, there it was a cloud in the sky..magnifier in the mast.

Yea, the search is sort of out of the flow of the content, so I can understand missing it.

I’ll add that despite the fact that the magnifying glass is a common icon used for search, most people are expecting/looking for an input field.
