Bug 1812232 reverts the Urlbar when the search terms are shown in order to ensure elements PopupNotifications may require are present.
If a user interacts with the Popup, we should bring the search terms back.
We should look at data gathered by Bug 1815971 to see how much of a concern it is w.r.t. prioritization.

So, some SERPs have features which use the microphone. My understanding is that under the current proposal, the sharing icon will be immediately hidden after the user accepts a microphone access request. This seems less than ideal, especially because the indicator pulls double duty as the permission panel button. A user with less experience won't be able to easily and quickly revoke permissions while search terms persist.
The best way to handle every edge case is to expose the permission panel button while search terms persist, I think.
EDIT: This was addressed in bug 1818848.

Thanks for pointing out that use case Gregory.
Yes, it seems we need to be more delicate on how to handle this situation since showing the microphone icon is important.
My only issue with always showing the permissions panel is it creates a gap between the magnifying glass and input area which visually might be odd and kind of confusing since then the search icon looks more like a button or option.
An alternative might be to either show the permissions panel while the microphone is on and hide it again if it's not active, or to revert the urlbar anytime the microphone is on as speaking is going to type a search term in a search providers search bar anyway, thus overriding the need for a user to use the urlbar to refine the terms in that particular search.
I'll get input from product/UX before proceeding on this. And create a separate bug for this particular scenario as it pertains to the microphone icon since it's slightly different from the Geolocation bug in that even if a user opts in the feature we should show the microphone icon when the feature is actively being used.
