Hard to find new search UX with new room header #28141

Your use case

Hi, I'm on Element desktop version 1.11.79 from Flatpak for Linux. Since a few versions ago I thought that search was broken because the search icon had disappeared from all of my encrypted chats. I went through the trouble of deleting the app cache and message search cache, but after weeks of no search functionality I finally found it in the room info panel, which I never use and therefore never found the message search field. I can disable the new room header beta for now (which I never manually enabled), but I sure hope the search icon returns to the new room header if it ever becomes the default and/or only header. Thanks.

Have you considered any alternatives?
