Navigation | Search - auto close and remove entry
I have seen the new Xero update, and the search bar has changed (only looks and complaints)
1. The search bar stays open, so you manually have to close it, which is slightly annoying.
2. Your search stays in the bar when it is closed. So when you open the bar again to search for something else, you have to delete the original search. If it has been a while since you last searched, you forget, and it can be so frustrating.
If the search bar were fixed (actually finding things I were searching for), I wouldn't mind. But this issue hasn't been fixed, and therefore, the only thing that has changed is the looks and the complaints above.

Interesting to get your feedback on this, Jodie-May. It'll be good to get a sense of the wider community appetite in this too. Our teams are paying close attention to the feedback on the new experience and I'll share if there are any updates for you here. Thanks
