Replace "submit" button with search bar on the /bots, /servers, and /templates pages.
The search bar is a bit hidden in the header and is cluttered with everything on the list if you don't manually uncheck them. On the other hand, the submit button is right in front of you when 90% of users won't be using it. It's like YouTube's new mobile app change where the upload button is front and center but nobody wants to use it.
Replace the submit button with a search bar that only searches that thing (e.g. search bar on /bots only searches bots etc). You can still keep the search button in the header if you'd like but after this change I don't think it would be needed. A search bar could also be added on the home page that searches everything (bots templates and servers) with uncheckable boxes just like the current search button
Another solution to this, if you really don't want to remove the submit button, you could make the search button larger and more prevalent in the header, and make it only search the /page it was clicked on (e.g. click it on home and you search all, click it on /bots an you search only bots, blah blah)
Many people coming to this list will be coming from more popular lists - as I did - and this change will make DEL more friendly to these new users and also help bots be discovered better by streamlining search
Great idea!
I was already going to do this (before this gh issue was made) lol, we should put a search box under the subtitle and then put the other buttons below it
