I have 3 issues with the current search bar:

-Search bar is too small on some viewports
In some displays (around 1241px to ~1300px wide) the search bar is too small
to be used as it is squished by the other toolbars, it seems the breakpoint is
1240px which I believe should be raised quite a bit.

-Search bar steals focus from mouse hover
This one is a bit tricky to describe. If I type "ninja" and press Enter,
I expect to see results pertaining to 'ninja.' However, when I click
on the search bar to begin typing and my cursor moves down slightly when I take
my hand off of the mouse, when I click Enter, it will search for whatever recommended/predicted
query my mouse was hovering over, despite me not typing that or clicking it.
In this case, instead of searching for 'ninja' it would search for 'ninjago'...
This issue is EXTREMELY annoying, it applies to set and part numbers as well
and it compounds with the below issue, making this one of the most annoying search
bars I have ever used


-Search bar no longer retains queried value
This one has already been mentioned a few times, but if I search "2x4 bricl"
on accident and need to quickly fix my typo, the text field is cleared out on
every search so amending typos or adjusting the query becomes extremely tedious.


(All issues have been tested in Chrome and Mozilla Firefox on Windows 11 Desktop.)

The smaller search bar lower on the search results page retains the search value
