Search instructions in search-slide

[Taeir]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. A lot of powerful features are available in the search, as explained on https://meta.codidact.com/help/search. However, the user does not get presented with these unless if they actually open the search page.

Describe the solution you'd like StackOverflow solves this by showing a very short version of useful search features in the dropdown when you click on the search bar.

Perhaps we could do something similar.

Describe alternatives you've considered -

Additional context Adding this is not hard, since the search is already a slide there is a panel where this information can be added. The question is how similar it can/should be.

You mean https://meta.codidact.com/help/search, right? If there is a link to that incorrect url (it returns a 500), could you tell us where you found it?

@MoshiKoi indeed, I meant /help/search, I updated it in my comment. Sorry for the confusion.
