1488730 - Increase the search field’s visibility in the extensions and themes sections

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, enhancement, P2)

Description

Attachment: Extension Manager Improvement

To increase search field visibility, my recommendations are to: 

- Increase the search field max-width 
--- font-size: from 22em to 32em

- Add a magnifying glass at the beginning of the field

- Add a right-pointing arrow at the end of the field [nice to have]

- Change the placeholder 
--- old: “Search on addons.mozilla.org" new: ’Search addons.mozilla.org'

- Add a label next to the search field
--- label string: “Find more extension”
--- font-size: 1.3rem;
--- font-weight: regular;
--- padding-right: 4px;

- Move the header utility button from the this area to the area below
--- the button is displayed on right side of the main container, no extra paddings or margins

Attach to this bug you find a screen that shows the final state. Please note that this picture shows a series of different improvements relevant to other bugs.

The right string for the label is "Find more extensions".

There was a bad rebase and a test change that should've been earlier in the series causing these failures. I'm running another try build now, but looks to be fixed and will re-land.
