Currently the navbar search input has border none so you just see a hint of the drop shadow. As the input text is shorter than the input it looks like there is a lot of empty space to the right of it.

I like it, though I wonder should we make it an option rather than the default? Anyone else?

I've also changed the lookout from this search input in our docs a little bit. You can have a look at this test page: https://60f2abac014e3400078b4632--sad-volhard-b41b3b.netlify.app

This example has 3 changes to the current official version:

1. make the search input a little bit more visable
2. let the placeholder visible until typing in something (like in the sidebar)
3. give the language dropdown in the sidebar (on smaller devices) a little bit more padding

The version of @at055612 is also OK for me and in my opinion better the the current search input. I would make it as Docsy default if you merge it.

I like them both but I think I like @narrenfrei's version slightly better. Anyone else?

I'm happy with @narrenfrei's version. A bit more subtle. As long as the border can be seen I am ok.

@at055612 Buddy you must resolve the merge conflicts before you make a PR

The PR was not in conflict when created. It is now but I was waiting on a decision from the maintainers whether to proceed with this PR or for @narrenfrei's change to be used instead.

My vote is to preserve the current default. Projects can easily customize this to their own tastes.

The new version of Algolia has different styling for the search box that makes it stand out by default.
